  • Title: The spectrum of chronic active liver disease.
    Author: Kaplan MM.
    Journal: Hosp Pract (Off Ed); 1983 Oct; 18(10):67-76. PubMed ID: 6413379.
    Abstract:
    Much progress has been made in the classification of chronic hepatitis syndromes, based on correlation of specific histologic features with progressive liver destruction. Four etiologic subtypes have been defined--drug-induced, hepatitis B, non-A, non-B hepatitis, and autoimmune hepatitis. The last paradoxically is least understood etiologically and pathophysiologically but the most amenable to specific therapy.
