    Abstract

    Disorders of the hepatobiliary system are relatively common manifestations of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases, in part because of the close anatomical and physiological relations between the gut and the liver.1 Autoimmune liver diseases, characterized by elevated transaminase levels, inflammatory liver histology, and circulating autoantibodies,2 are associated with several GI conditions. In this review, we discuss the relationship between autoimmune liver disease (specifically autoimmune hepatitis [AIH], primary sclerosing cholangitis [PSC], and AIH/PSC overlap) and celiac disease, autoimmune enteropathy (AE), and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs).
