Description

The diagnosis and management of autoimmune hepatitis in children have remained largely unchanged for decades. Jointly planned by the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition, this informative session highlights advances in immunophenotyping and biomarker discovery, and explores emerging approaches to the management of refractory disease, and autoimmune hepatitis in special pediatric populations.
