Current status of research on overlap syndrome of autoimmune liver disease / 临床肝胆病杂志

ABSTRACT

Autoimmune liver diseases mainly include primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), and primary sclerosing cholangitis. Simultaneous or successive occurrence of the features of any two of the above diseases is called overlap syndrome, among which PBC-AIH overlap syndrome is the most common type. Overlap syndrome can progress rapidly to liver cirrhosis and liver failure without timely treatment. This article summarizes the research advances in overlap syndrome of autoimmune liver disease in recent years.
