title: [Autoimmune hepatitis: pathogenesis, clinical features and treatment].
abstract: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic liver disease of unknown etiology. The incidence of AIH keeps rising, most probably because of increasing availability of the diagnostic tools permitting thorough differential diagnosis amongst liver diseases presenting histologically as chronic active hepatitis. In this review we focus on clinical aspects of autoimmune hepatitis and discuss pathogenesis, clinical features and treatment of AIH.
