Abstract |
Autoimmune hepatitis is the archetype of liver autoimmune disease. It is divided into two types, according to the autoantibody profile. It should be suspected and diagnosed early since treatment is highly effective in preventing liver failure and transplant. The possible pathogenic scenario is described in the present review.
