| Core Tip |
This retrospective study included 81 consecutive adult patients with liver dysfunction and positive autoantibodies undergoing liver biopsy. Autoimmune hepatitis was not confirmed in 47% of patients. In patients with anti-nuclear antibodies positivity, male gender and higher controlled attenuation parameter values emerged as independent predictive factors associated with non-confirmed diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis. These findings generate a valuable hypothesis that may inform future updates to clinical decision algorithms, particularly considering the rising prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. |
