ABSTRACT
Autoimmune hepatitis refractory to corticod therapy is infrequent. Generally, it occurs in severe cases and in young patients. There are several treatment options, including higher doses of the regular medications and, eventually, the use of other immunosuppressive drugs with higher potency, such as mycophenolate, cyclosporin, tacrolimus, among others.
RESUMEN

Existen varios esquemas para su enfrentamiento, incluyendo mayores dosis de terapia habitual y, eventualmente, el uso de otros fármacos inmunosupresores de mayor potencia como micofenolato, ciclosporina, tacrolimus y otros.
