Core Tip	Autoimmune hepatitis, is a rare inflammatory condition of the liver that can affect all ages and gender, across all geographic regions. It has a wide variability in clinical presentation and thus, diagnosis can be challenging. While undiagnosed disease leads to significant morbidity and mortality, timely initiation of treatment leads to favorable outcomes in the majority of cases. Guidelines are available by international societies but there exists a disparity in the standard treatment indications and regimens. In this minireview, we summarize key points from the available literature and guidelines, focusing on appropriate indications and different treatment regimens available.
