What are the markers for Hep. B
HBsAg- acute or chronic infection
Anti-HBs - markers of immunity
Hepatits B core antibody (anti-HBC)- current or prior infection
IgM - indicative of infection in the previous 6 months
IgG - more distant HBV infection that is resolving
HBeAg - high infectivity
anti-HBe - correlates w/ low rate replication
HBV-DNA - active replication great for monitoring treatment
What are the characteristics of an acute viral hepatitis
mottled appearance
lympoplasmacytic infiltrate
limited portal inflammations
necrosis of hepatocyte
What are the characteristics of chronic viral hepatitis
lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate
mononuclear portal infiltrate
scarring necrosis
What are the types of autoimmune hepatitis
type 1 and 2
What is autoimmune hepatitis
it is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the live that occurs when the body’s immune system attacks liver cells and causes inflammation.

middle age women
Anti-smooth muscle antibody
Anti-nuclear antibody
What are the characteristics of type 2 autoimmune hepatitis
in children and teenagers
Anti-LKM1 antibody
What is the treatment for autoimmune hepatitis
Corticosteroids
What are the drugs in drugs induced liver damage
acetaminophen isoniazid methotrexate amiodarone statins
