Core Tip	Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic liver disease which can cause cirrhosis. Liver biopsy is still used as the gold standard in determining grade of fibrosis and disease activity in AIH. However, it is an invasive and difficult-to-repeat method, with some minor and major complications. In this study, we aimed to compare AIH patients’ serum adenosine deaminase (ADA) level with histopathological features of liver biopsy. To our knowledge, this is the first study investigating serum ADA activity in AIH. We showed that ADA level was a useful laboratory parameter that reflected histological activity in AIH.
