Zusammenfassung: | Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is an autoimmune liver disease induced by environmental factors in genetically susceptible individuals. AIH is characterized by hypergammaglobulinemia, elevation of serum autoantibodies and transaminases, and interface hepatitis. Personalized therapy is necessary in AIH because of its heterogeneity in clinical manifestations. Precision medicine is a recent and novel therapeutic pattern which ultimately aims to achieve personalized therapy. In this review we summarize the research progress of precision medicine to treat AIH by an exploration of the susceptible genes, precision diagnosis and prognosis of AIH, pharmacogenomics and precision medication, and the precision treatment for special types of AIH. |
