Abstract
Purpose of review: The primary therapy of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) has been established for over three decades. This review focuses on updates in the evaluation and management of patients with AIH.
Recent findings: The evaluation of patients has recently been updated to include more definitive screening for other autoimmune diseases, including thyroid disease and celiac disease. Antibody detection by ELISA, an easier and more commonly available method, has been incorporated into the latest iteration of the AIH scoring system. Corticosteroids and AZA remain the backbone of AIH treatment, but there is growing evidence for mycophenolate mofetil as both first-line and second-line therapy, and growing inquiry into calcineurin inhibitors. Noninvasive markers of liver disease have now been validated in AIH, with the strongest evidence for VCTE in patients with minimal hepatic inflammation.
Summary: Recent research of alternative immunosuppressant therapies, noninvasive markers of fibrosis, and updated society guidelines, have improved our ability to evaluate, treat, and follow patients with AIH.
