Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this observational study is to clarify the clinical characteristics of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) in China. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) gene susceptibility in Chinese AIH patients prognostic factors associated with AIH Participants will provide liver tests results and details of treatment during follow-up.
Detailed Description
This study aims to establish a high-quality, standardized prospective cohort of AIH with regular follow-up, clarify the clinical characteristics of AIH in China, construct a prognostic model, and explore new serum markers or AIH gene susceptibility, so as to provide key clinical evidence for the prevention and treatment of AIH in China.

Progression to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)
Time Frame: From time of enrollment to the first date of HCC diagnosed, assessed up to 120 months
Patients progress to hepatocellular carcinoma due to poor treatment response
