Lab testing can help to diagnose various autoimmune diseases, determine the severity of the diseases, and also help to establish a prognosis of...
Nicolas and colleagues (2023) state that the PF4 ELISA is an immunoassay used to detect the presence of antibodies in persons suspected of HIT. If this test is negative, then HIT can be ruled out. If the PF4 ELISA is positive, the result should be confirmed with the Serotonin Release Assa...
Serum HE4 levels were significantly elevated in autoimmune hepatitis with liver cirrhosis (AIH-LC) patients compared with AIH patients and healthy controls [98.60 (74.15–139.08) vs 73.50 (59.88–82.00) vs 48.75 (43.38–52.93) pmol/L, p = 0.004]. The serum HE4 levels showed a positive correla...
Autoimmune Hepatitis Types There are two major types of autoimmune hepatitis. Both are rare. Type 1is the more common kind. You're more likely to get it if you're a woman ages 15 to 40, although people of any age or gender can get it. ...

Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is characterized by immune-mediated hepatocyte injury resulting in the destruction of liver cells, causing inflammation, liver failure, and fibrosis. Pediatric (AIH) is an autoimmune inflammatory disease that usually requires immunosuppression for an extended period...
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic inflammatory liver disease characterized by an autoimmune reaction to hepatocytes. A single nucleotide polymorphism in the 3′ untranslated region of HLA-DPB1, rs9277534, is associated with HLA-DPB1 expression. rs9277534 has been linked to hepatitis B virus ...

Tender joint count: Five RCTs reported analyzable data on tender joint counts. The heterogeneity test indicated that the heterogeneity among the included RCTs was high (I2=94%,P<0.00001). The results of meta-analysis showed that there was no significant difference in tender joint counts between...
Autoimmune liver diseases (AILD) are rare immune-mediated chronic inflammatory diseases. The three main AILD are autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), and primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), which are characterized by the destruction of the liver parenchyma, the intrahepatic...
