*Abbreviated ''AIH''.
{{Main|Autoimmune hepatitis}}
===General===
*Several criteria exist to diagnose and histology (alone) is '''not''' sufficient.
 
====Diagnosis====
Simplifed diagnostic criteria (2008):<ref name=pmid19675998>Scoring systems for the diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis: past, present, and future. Wiegard C, Schramm C, Lohse AW. Semin Liver Dis. 2009 Aug;29(3):254-61. Epub 2009 Aug 12. PMID 19675998</ref>
#Antibody titer.
#Elevated IgG.
#Liver pathology.
#Exclusion of viral hepatitis.
 
Details (scoring):<ref name=pmid19675998/>
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
|'''Finding'''          || '''Score'''
|-
|ANA or SMA 1:40 || 1 point
|-
|ANA or SMA 1:80 || 2 points
|-
|LKM-1 1:40 || 2 points
|-
|IgG upper normal || 1 point
|-
|IgG 1.1x upper limit || 2 points
|-
|Histology compatible || 1 point

Interpretation:
Definite >= 7 points.
Probable = 6 points.
 
Notes:
*Autoantibodies may be seen in HCV.<ref name=pmid19675998/>
*A normal IgG is very unusual in AIH - but may be seen in atypical variants with zone III involvment.
 
Abbreviations:
*ANA = anti-nuclear antibody.
*SMA = smooth muscle antibody.
*LKM-1 = liver kidney microsomal type 1 antibody.
 
===Microscopic===
Classification:<ref name=pmid19675998/>
*Typical:
**Interface hepatitis (zone 1).
***Lymphoplasmacytic infiltration of portal tracts / lobule.
****Periportal [[plasma cells]] - '''key feature'''.<ref>{{Ref PCPBoD8|448}}</ref>
**Emperipolesis - one cell penetrates into another one (uncommon finding).
**Hepatic rosette - inflammatory cells around reactive hepatocytes.<ref name=pmid20527613>{{Cite journal  | last1 = Malik | first1 = TA. | last2 = Saeed | first2 = S. | title = Autoimmune hepatitis: a review. | journal = J Pak Med Assoc | volume = 60 | issue = 5 | pages = 381-7 | month = May | year = 2010 | doi =  | PMID = 20527613 | url=http://www.jpma.org.pk/full_article_text.php?article_id=2051 }}</ref>
*Compatible:
**Chronic hepatitis - lymphocytic dominant.
*Atypical:
**Signs of an other disease.
 
Notes:
*[[PAS stain]] may be useful - find plasma cells.<ref>URL: [http://iv.iiarjournals.org/content/19/6/1097.abstract http://iv.iiarjournals.org/content/19/6/1097.abstract]. Accessed on: 9 December 2010.</ref>
**Lots of plasma cells should prompt consideration of AIH.
