Core Tip Autoimmune liver diseases, including autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis, and primary sclerosing cholangitis, are chronic immunemediated disorders that may progress to cirrhosis, liver failure and death. Although liver transplantation mostly ensures favorable survival rates, recurrence and complications remain significant challenges. Therefore, the understanding of immune mechanisms, the gut-liver axis, and novel targeted therapies offer new perspectives to improve long-term outcomes and optimize patient management.
