Core Tip	This study investigated the levels, ratios, and clinical significance of T helper 17 (Th17) cells and regulatory T (Treg) cells in the peripheral blood of patients with autoimmune liver disease (AILD). The results suggested that an imbalance in the Th17/Treg ratio plays an important role in the pathogenesis and development of AILD. A high Th17/Treg ratio appears to predict poor short-term prognosis in patients with AILD in the active stage.
