1 Autoimmune Hepatitis DEIRDRE KELLY ESPGHAN GOES TO AFRICA CAPETOWN October 2013
2 Autoimmune Hepatitis DEFINITION Progressive necroinflammatory disease Mononuclear infiltrate in the portal tract Increase in IgG Nonspecific autoantibodies Responds to immunosuppression
3 Autoimmune Hepatitis PATHOGENESIS Environmental trigger Immunogenetic disposition HLA DR3 & DR7 Loss of tolerance to hepatic antigens Failure of Treg cells T cell mediated attack
4 Auto immune Hepatitis Type 1 Autoimmune Hepatitis SMA/ANA positive attacks smooth muscle Type 2 Autoimmune Hepatitis LKM Antibody positive liver cytosol positive attacks cytochrome P450 Autoimmune Sclerosing Cholangitis panca pos
5 Autoimmune Hepatitis TYPE 1 AUTOMMUNE HEPATITIS Clinical Features acute or chronic hepatitis multi-organ involvement gut/kidney/lung/heart/cns Diagnosis ANA Double stranded DNA SMA
6 Autoimmune Hepatitis LKM positive Hepatitis & Hepatitis C LKM 1 : no antibodies to Hep C true autoimmune disease LKM 2 : antibodies to Hep C antibodies to drugs cryoglobulinaemia
7 Autoimmune Hepatitis Type 2 Autoimmune Hepatitis Clinical Features acute / fulminant hepatitis not associated with other organ involvement Diagnosis LKM antibody positive low complement high gammaglobulin

22 Autoimmune Hepatitis Difficulties with immunosuppression? When to stop AST/ALT normal for 12 or 24 months normal liver biopsy? secondary to drugs eg lamotrigine Problems High rate of relapse More difficult to obtain remission Van Gerven NM; Weiler-Normann C in J Hepatol, 2013;
23 Autoimmune Hepatitis Difficulties with immunosuppression Resistance/Intolerance to pred/aza Cyclosporine/ Tacrolimus/mycophenolate Cyclophosphamide/sirolimus Rituximab or infliximab
