Autoimmune hepatitis is an inflammatory liver disease characterized by an abnormal immune response targeting liver autoantigens, leading to persistent inflammation. The condition can present acutely or may be asymptomatic, and it is more prevalent in women. Diagnosis relies on specific autoantibodies, elevated IgG levels, and histological findings. Treatment typically involves corticosteroids and immunomodulatory drugs, aiming to achieve long-term remission and potentially reverse liver damage.
