A form of autoimmune hepatitis characterized by clinical presentation as cryptogenic hepatitis, interface hepatitis on histological examination, elevated serum aminotransferase levels, hypergammaglobulinemia/elevated immunoglobulin G, and presence of circulating autoantibodies, specifically antibodies to liver kidney microsome type 1 (anti-LKM1) and anti-liver cytosol type 1 (anti-LC1) antibodies. The disease typically manifests in childhood or adolescence with an acute onset, often with acute liver failure. Long-term immunosuppression is usually required. Reported concurrent autoimmune diseases are autoimmune thyroiditis, diabetes mellitus, and vitiligo.
