Liver dysfunction and fibrosis as predictors of biochemical response to autoimmune hepatitis treatment.

Background: Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a disease that presents itself in various forms, ranging from aminotransferase asymptomatic alteration, acute hepatitis to decompensated cirrhosis. Few studies have evaluated the predictive criteria as a response to treatment.

Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study examined patients with AIH who were visited in the hepatology clinic of a university hospital between January 2013 and July 2015.
