Abstract
The clinical spectrum of autoimmune hepatitis is very wide. In addition, autoimmune hepatitis can present in any age group. Diagnosis is usually made by a combination of clinical, laboratory and histological features. Diagnostic scores can help both in the daily diagnostic work-up of patients, and in allowing comparability of clinical scientific studies. However, all diagnostic scores have limitations in individual cases, which are discussed in this review.
