The disease is usually quite serious and, if not treated, gets worse over time. It's usually chronic, meaning it can last for years, and can lead to cirrhosis (scarring and hardening) of the liver and eventually liver failure. Autoimmune hepatitis is classified as either type I or II. About half of those with type I have other autoimmune disorders, such as thyroidosis, Graves' disease, Sjoegren'sjögren s, syndrome autoimmune, anemia and ulcerative. Colitis TYPE ii autoimmune hepatitis is less, common typically affecting girls ages 2 to, 14 although adults can have it. too Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease in which the body’s immune system attacks liver cells. This immune response causes inflammation of the liver, also called hepatitis. The disease can be quite serious and, if not treated, gets worse over time, leading to cirrhosis of the liver and/or liver failure. Autoimmune hepatitis sometimes occurs in relatives of people with autoimmune diseases, suggesting a genetic cause. This disease is most common in young girls and women Hepatitis is the inflammation of the liver, resulting in liver cell damage and destruction. In autoimmune hepatitis, the body's own immune system destroys the cells of the liver. It is a chronic inflammatory liver disease with no known cause. It is associated with a disorder called hypergammaglobulinemia. Hypergammaglobulinemia is a disorder where there are too many circulating protein antibodies in the blood. Autoimmune hepatitis may resolve without treatment in some people, but, for the majority, it is chronic and can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure. Autoimmune hepatitis may be classified as type 1 or type 2. Type 1 (classic) is the most common form. It may occur at any age but usually affects young women more than men. Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease in which the body's immune system attacks liver cells. This causes the liver to become inflamed (hepatitis). Researchers think a genetic factor may predispose some people to autoimmune diseases. About half of those with type I have other autoimmune disorders, such as thyroidosis, Graves' disease, Sjoegren'sjögren s, syndrome autoimmune, anemia and ulcerative. Colitis TYPE ii autoimmune hepatitis is less, common typically affecting girls ages 2 to, 14 although adults can have it. too Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the liver of unknown etiology identified in the 1940s and formerly called chronic active hepatitis. Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic inflammatory condition of the liver of unknown etiology. Most patients respond to corticosteroids. The most commonly used treatment regimen is a combination of prednisone and azathioprine. Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease in which the body’s own immune system attacks the liver and causes it to become inflamed. The disease is chronic, meaning it lasts many years. If untreated, it can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure. There are two forms of this disease. Type 1, or classic, autoimmune hepatitis is the more common form. This is the form that mostly affects young women and is often associated with other autoimmune diseases. Type 2 autoimmune hepatitis is less common and generally affects girls between the ages of 2 and 14. Often, the symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis are minor. When symptoms do occur, the most common are fatigue, abdominal discomfort, aching joints, itching, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes), enlarged liver, nausea and spider angiomas (blood vessels) on the skin. 1 Autoimmune hepatitis is a long-term disease in which the body's immune system attacks liver cells. 2  The disease is diagnosed using various blood tests and a liver biopsy. 3  With proper treatment, autoimmune hepatitis can usually be controlled. This immune response causes inflammation of the liver, also called hepatitis. Researchers think a genetic factor may make some people more susceptible to autoimmune diseases. About 70 percent of those with autoimmune hepatitis are female. The disease is usually quite serious and, if not treated, gets worse over time.

Autoimmune hepatitis is typically chronic, meaning it can last for years, and can lead to cirrhosis-scarring and hardening-of the liver. Eventually, liver failure can result. Autoimmune hepatitis is classified as type 1 or type 2
