Abstract

Background & Aim: AUTOIMMUNE HEPATITIS (AIH) is a chronic necro-inflammatory disease of the liver with unknown etiology. It is relentlessly progressive to end stage liver disease within months to years, unless appropriately treated. Even with appropriate and timely therapy the disease may be progressive and decrease the patient's survival. We assessed the SURVIVAL RATE in 22 Iranian AIH patients who received treatment at various time intervals after initiation of their disease.Methods and Patients: In a descriptive, cross-sectional, retrospective study, we assessed the SURVIVAL RATE of 22 patients with AIH who were being followed in a private gastroenterology clinic in Tehran. These patients had been diagnosed and treated over a 10 years period (from 1991 to 2001). Their demographic, clinical, para-clinical and survival data were retrieved and analysed using the SPSS software for windows.Results: Mean age of the patients was 21.7 years and 86.4% were female. They were followed for a mean of 3.1 years. The actuarial SURVIVAL RATEs were as follow: 100% survived the first year, 95.0% survived for 3 years, 86.9% for 4 years, and 79.7% for 6 years. All have been treated with prednisolone and Azathioprine.Conclusion: SURVIVAL RATE in our patients is comparable to that reported from the western countries (the United Kingdom and Germany).
