Autoimmune Hepatitis

Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic liver disease caused by an abnormal immune response. It is characterized by inflammation of the liver, leading to destruction of the tissue and potentially liver failure. Autoimmune hepatitis is most commonly treated with corticosteroids, immunosuppressive agents, or a combination of both medications. The long-term prognosis is generally good with appropriate management. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent permanent damage to the liver and prevent the progression to cirrhosis or liver failure. Autoimmune hepatitis is an important cause of liver disease that is important to diagnose and treat.
