Disease relevance of Hepatitis, Autoimmune

 

High impact information on Hepatitis, Autoimmune

  • Azathioprine for long-term maintenance of remission in autoimmune hepatitis [6].
  • In most patients with autoimmune hepatitis, remission can be maintained with prednisolone, usually in combination with azathioprine, but the majority of patients have a relapse when treatment is stopped and therefore require long-term therapy [6].
  • BACKGROUND & AIMS: Autoimmune hepatitis type 2 (AIH-2), a severe juvenile liver disorder of unknown etiology and pathogenesis, is characterized by liver-kidney microsomal antibody type 1 targeting cytochrome P450IID6 (CYP2D6) and is associated to HLA DRB1*07 [7].
  • Progress in type 1 autoimmune hepatitis still requires knowledge of a disease-specific autoantigen(s) involved in T-cell reactivity, although such knowledge in type 2 autoimmune hepatitis, in which the known autoantigen is cytochrome P4502D6, has not yet been integrated into a clearly defined scheme of pathogenesis [8].
  • To identify diagnostic autoantibodies for APECED hepatitis, sera from 64 patients with APECED were screened for autoantibodies established in the diagnosis of idiopathic autoimmune hepatitis, and for autoantibodies against 10 cytochrome P450s [9].
