About this trial
Evaluate the proportion of seronegative auto-immune hepatitis and a possible relationship with the severity of the disease. Criteria of severity will be defined by corticodependance, corticoresistance and a severe form of the disease at diagnosis (cirrhosis or fulminant hepatitis). In case of predominant seronegative forms, other auto-antibodies related to this auto-immue hepatitis will be searched.

only acute or chronic AIH patients will be included in the study.
Trial design
Cohort
Prospective
Treatments tested in this trial
blood sampling
Other interventionFor the study, a blood sample will be collected from the patient in order to do build up a serological library which will allow the search for rare autoAb whose interest has been demonstrated as prognostic factors of the disease.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
histological rereading of seronegative AIH
Percentage comparisons will be made by a chi-2 test or a Fischer test.
Secondary outcomes
assessment of the severity of the disease
\- Number of corticosteroid HAI defined by the maintenance of corticosteroid therapy\> 20mg / d beyond 6 months of treatment - Number of corticosteroid-resistant AIH. Percentage comparisons will be made by a chi-2 test or a Fischer test.
Constitution of a serotheque in order to search for other autoAb described as correlated to the severity of the AIH.
