- W2012029985 abstract "Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic disease of unknown etiology, which usually progresses to cirrhosis if not diagnosed and treated promptly. Data on long-term follow up in children with AIH are scant. The aim of this study is to assess the long-term outcome of autoimmune hepatitis in children with respect to clinical and laboratory features at presentation.Data were extracted from the medical records of patients presenting over a 28-year period (1972-2000) to the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne, Australia. Additional information was obtained by interviewing patients, and their current physicians. Of the 30 patients (22 females, mean age 9 years) identified, 18 had type I, three had type II, four had autoimmune-polyendocrinopathy syndrome type 1, one had infantile giant-cell hepatitis associated with Coomb's-positive hemolytic anemia, and four were seronegative (antinuclear antibody (ANA), smooth muscle antibody (SMA) and liver-kidney microsomal antibody (LKM)).Clinical features at presentation included hepatomegaly (86%), jaundice (66%) and splenomegaly (50%). Initial investigations revealed a median serum bilirubin level of 55 micromol/L (range 6-425), median aspartate aminotransferase level of 678 IU (range 70-2548), and abnormal clotting in 33% of patients. Liver biopsies were performed on all patients at presentation and 11 showed cirrhosis (36%). The mean follow-up period was 10.0 +/- 7.8 years with 43% being followed for > 10 years. Only two patients died and one required transplantation. Fourteen (50%) patients continue to be on low dose prednisolone with azathioprine, two (7%) are on prednisolone alone, and six (21%) are on no therapy. When the cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients were compared, the albumin level at presentation was significantly lower in the cirrhotic group (P=0.01). Of the patients who were cirrhotic at presentation, six (54%) remain compensated with a mean follow-up period of 8 years. All 24 patients currently under follow up are engaged in age-appropriate activities including school, part- or full-time work.Autoimmune hepatitis has a favorable long-term outcome with a transplant-free survival rate of 90% over a mean period of 10.0 +/- 7.8 years (range: 0.5-23), and a normal or near-normal lifestyle irrespective of presenting clinical, laboratory or histological features." @default.
