Can you recognize autoimmune hepatitis?

E L Krawitt. Postgrad Med. 1998 Aug.

Abstract

Because there is no single diagnostic test for autoimmune hepatitis, it may initially be indistinguishable from other liver disorders. However, early recognition is important because nearly all patients respond well to corticosteroid therapy. Dr Krawitt discusses diagnostic clues and appropriate management to help prevent serious liver damage and improve patients' quality of life.
