A Closer Look into Autoimmune Liver Diseases

Autoimmune liver diseases involve a heterogeneous group of chronic inflammatory disorders, including autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Sometimes presented consistently as an overlapping syndrome, their pathogenesis is rather complex and has yet to be fully elucidated, despite extensive research efforts. This review article corroborates the molecular mechanisms of autoimmune liver diseases, as well as existing and potential therapeutic modalities.
