Abstract

The analysis of publications devoted to the Russian Consensus on the Diagnostic and Treatment of Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH), which was considered at the 43rd annual Scientific Session of the CNIIG From Traditions to Innovation (March 4, 2017) is carried out. The presence of clear algorithms and recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of AIH significantly help the doctor in real clinical practice, but do not exclude a personified approach to the patient.

Keywords: autoimmune hepatitis; azathioprine; budesonide; immunosuppressive therapy; liver biopsy; prednisolone; pregnancy of pa- tients.
