Extrahepatic Autoimmune Diseases in Autoimmune Hepatitis: Their Prevalence, Predictors, and Influence on Early Treatment Outcomes

Caption

In the Han Chinese population, 23.98% of AIH patients had EADs, with Sjogren’s syndrome and autoimmune thyroid disease being the most common. ANA positivity was a significant risk factor for EADs. EAD patients had a poorer initial treatment response at three months, but comparable long-term biochemical response from six months.
