Autoimmune hepatitis and metabolic syndrome-associated disease development: a U.S. cohort study.

In the largest US-based cohort of patients newly diagnosed with AIH, there was a considerable burden of pre-existing and de novo MSADs that may affect AIH treatment outcomes. Identifying those at highest risk of co-morbid MSADs allows for an individualised approach to management to reduce its long-term sequelae in patients with AIH.
