| Core Tip |
Autoimmune hepatitis is considered to manifest as a chronic disease. In few cases, the clinician is challenged with patients revealing acute liver failure as their first manifestation of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). The aim of our study was to investigate features of especially these patients with focus on potential triggering factors. We identified triggering factors in half of our patients (26 out of 52 patients with acute liver failure within a total cohort of 565 AIH patients). These were drugs, viral infections, and surgery. Advanced age and high MELD-score were associated with lethal outcome. Consequently, the clinician would be well-advised to document these underlying conditions. |
