Long description:

In this issue of Clinics in Liver Disease, guest editor Dr. David E. Bernstein brings his considerable expertise to the topic of Autoimmune Hepatitis Including PBC and PSC. The three main immune disorders that involve the liver are AIH, primary biliary cholangitis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis. As these autoimmune diseases can share symptoms, it is important for the hepatologist to have clinical knowledge of each and understand their differences and similarities. This issue addresses these variants and provides the reader with important information relating to pathology, diagnosis, and treatment.

• Contains 15 relevant, practice-oriented topics including autoimmune hepatitis: epidemiology, subtypes, and presentation; diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis; treatment of autoimmune hepatitis including transplant; diagnostic tests in primary sclerosing cholangitis: serology, elastography, imaging; post-transplant management and complications of AIH, PBC, and PSC, including disease recurrence; and more.
• Provides in-depth clinical reviews on autoimmune hepatitis, including PBC and PSC, offering actionable insights for clinical practice.
• Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.
