Pathophysiology The proposed pathogenesis of autoimmune hepatitis involves the combination of genetic predisposition and environmental triggers. The genetic predisposition may relate to several defects in immunologic control of autoreactivity.[emedicine.medscape.com]
This approach is different than the other systems for which categories and scorings were created on the basis of the authors' knowledge (assumptions) of pathophysiology, which then underwent subsequent testing for reproducibility.[nature.com]
IFN-alpha gave a sustained response in only a small proportion of patients, but worsening of compensated cirrhosis was prevented and development of hepatocellular carcinoma was inhibited, increasing the survival rate.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
