Concurrent extrahepatic autoimmunity in autoimmune hepatitis: implications for diagnosis, clinical course and long‐term outcomes

Abstract

Our study confirms the strong association of CEHAID with AIH. Association between personal and familial extrahepatic autoimmunity especially among first-degree relatives was evident. Presence of CEHAID may influence clinical phenotype of AIH at presentation, but without notable impact on the long-term clinical outcomes.
