Abstract

The long-term outcome of patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in Japan has not been well-defined. The aim of this study was to clarify the outcome of this disease over a long follow-up period compared with that of the general Japanese population as well as that among patients. A total of 203 AIH patients were enrolled for a mean follow-up period of 131 months. All patients were treated with corticosteroids with or without azathioprine. The overall survival of AIH patients was similar to that of the general population in Japan. The prognosis of AIH subgroups divided according to disease severity, sex, incidence of relapse, liver histology, presence of cirrhosis, probable or definite AIH score, antibody to hepatitis B core antigen antibody positivity, or human leukocyte antigen DR4-positivity did not differ greatly among patients. However, the prognosis of patients experiencing two or more relapses was significantly poorer than that of patients with remission or a single relapse both in univariate (P < 0.001) and multivariate (P = 0.020) analyses. The development of liver malignancy was also a possibility among AIH patients with multiple relapses. Severe adverse effects of corticosteroids were rare, even in patients who under...Continue Reading
