AIH study.This study is currently open for recruitment.The UK Autoimmune Hepatitis Cohort (UK-AIH) is a study for any adult with autoimmune hepatitis in the UK. It will collect information from any patient who wishes to participate. Some people will be asked to donate blood samples, answer questionnaires, and let researchers use any liver tissue samples that are taken as part of their normal medical care. All this information will be studied to identify new tests and treatments. We will store safely the information and samples, and samples of participants’ DNA, so that they can be used to answer new questions about autoimmune hepatitis that may come up in the future. We will also ask people for permission to contact them or their doctors in the future if there are new studies or trials of new treatments for which they might be suitable.If you have a patient that is interested in this study then please refer them to the study website uk-. If you are interested in being involved in this study please also contact the UK-AIH team (uk-aih@newcastle.ac.uk).Patients that are newly diagnosed with AIH or being investigated for possible AIH can take part in the study (Group 1) as can anyone that has already got a diagnosis of AIH (Main cohort). For more details please refer to the website or contact the UK-AIH team. ................
