Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic disease in which the body's immune system attacks the liver, causing inflammation and damage. This condition can lead to liver scarring and eventually liver failure if not properly managed. Current treatments focus on suppressing the immune response, but they are not always effective and can have significant side effects. The Hepatic Hope Foundation is dedicated to advancing research into artificial livers and liver support systems, aiming to provide innovative solutions and hope for those affected by autoimmune hepatitis.
