Autoimmune Hepatitis Associated with Other Autoimmune Diseases (IMAGE)

AIH with AITD, T1DM, UC, Crohn disease, and celiac disease appear to be significant. However, associations between AIH and PSC/PBC, RA, SLE, SS, and vitiligo are not well-supported. Diagnostic criteria in some cases are based on scoring systems, but most depend on the established criteria of each individual disease. Treatment of combined AIH and other diseases in most reports resembles treatment of AIH alone, typically including corticosteroid therapy, often in combination with purine analogs. However, a multidisciplinary approach to managing multi-organ involvement is highly recommended.
