- Abstract
On the example of case study, we present the features of the course of AIH on the background of SLE, as well as the difficulties of diagnosis and treatment. The study revealed an immune-mediated combination of autoimmune hepatitis with systemic lupus erythematosus, based on the association of autoimmune disorders with the main complex of human histocompatibility. The literature lacks data on the features of the course and treatment of comorbid patients with these pathologies. Autoimmune hepatitis on the background of systemic lupus erythematosus is characterized by early manifestation of the clinical picture, rapid progression of acute liver failure. The identification of immunological markers is diagnostically important; however, the morphological confirmation of the diagnosis is of paramount importance for deciding on the treatment. It should be borne in mind that AIH can proceed under the guise of other clinical signs for several years and can be mistakenly regarded as SLE, rheumatoid arthritis. Treatment involves a high risk of developing hepatic encephalopathy in response to pathogenetic therapy.
