    Diagnosis - Autoimmune hepatitis

    Verified Expert
    One or more of these tests may be recommended by your medical provider.
    There is no test that is solely used for diagnosis. A combination of tests is done to give a definitive diagnosis. Tests are aimed at establishing abnormal immune activity in absence of an infection and presence of liver damage.

    Common tests & procedures

    Blood test: To rule out hepatitis due to infection by viruses. For e.g. hepatitis virus.

    Liver function tests: Blood test where enzyme levels are measured to determine how well the liver is functioning.

    Liver biopsy: To examine the histology of the liver cells and determine if there is inflammation.

    Is there a diagnostic test for autoimmune hepatitis (AIH)?
    In the absence of a single diagnostic test for AIH, the International Autoimmune Hepatitis Group (IAIHG) has devised a diagnostic system for comparative and research purposes that includes several positive and negative scores, the sum of which gives a value indicative of probable or definite AIH 2, 3 (Table 1).
