[ISSUES OF ROUTING PATIENTS WITH AUTOIMMUNE HEPATITIS].

Abstract

Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic, immune-mediated liver disease characterized by an increased level of immunoglobulins G and/or gamma globulins, the presence of autoantibodies and a typical histological picture. Diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis causes difficulties due to various variants of the course, wide variability of the clinical picture, which leads to a large number of missed cases of the disease. Treatment of аutoimmune hepatitis is aimed at reducing the activity of an inadequate response of the immune system against cells of its own body and achieving complete remission of the disease. The timeliness of starting treatment is directly related to the prognosis of the disease. These features of the disease necessitate proper patient routing and shortening their path to specialists with knowledge and experience in managing this category of patients.
