Pathogens and autoimmune hepatitis [PDF]

Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 2018
Summary Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a severe form of hepatitis resulting in the autoimmune-mediated destruction of the liver parenchyma. Whereas many of the immunopathogenic events have been elucidated and some of the drivers of the disease have been identified, little is known about the aetiology of the disease. There are certain risk

Treatment Side Effects and Associated Autoimmune Diseases

, 2011
A wide variety of immunosuppressants and immunomodulators have been used to treat autoimmune hepatitis. Prednisone or prednisolone, alone or in combination with azathioprine is the treatment mainstay, limited mostly by the development of drug toxicity ...
