Common Risk Factors
Common risk factors in the development of Autoimmune hepatitis include:
- Autoimmune hepatitis is more common in females
- Genetic predisposition:
- Autoimmune hepatitis type 1 has the association with HLA-DR3 and HLA-DR4
- Type 2 AIH has been associated with the HLA-DQB1 and HLA-DRB1 alleles
- History of another autoimmune disease:
- Autoimmune diseases, including thyroiditis, type 1 diabetes, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, and rheumatoid arthritis
Less Common Risk Factors
Less common risk factors in the development of Autoimmune hepatitis include:
- A history of viral infections:
- Autoimmune hepatitis is common who are infected with the measles, herpes simplex or Epstein-Barr virus and hepatitis A, B or C infection in the past.
- History of drug intake:
- Minocycline, Nitrofurantoin, Hydralazine, Methyldopa Statins, Fenofibrate, Interferon, Infliximab, Etanercept increases the risk of autoimmune hepatitis
