Autoimmune hepatitis

Chronic autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a rare progressive inflammatory disorder of unknown cause primarily affecting women and associated with circulating autoantibodies, elevated transaminase levels, and increased levels of immunoglobulin.

Cirrhosis

A chronic disorder of the liver in which liver tissue becomes scarred and is partially replaced by regenerative nodules and fibrotic tissue resulting in loss of liver function.
