Abstract: Objective To investigate the correlation of autoantibodies and biochemical indicators in patients
with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) type Ⅰ. Methods Total of 163 patients with AIH-Ⅰ from December
2010 to December 2014 in Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine were selected as the
research group and other 197 blood donors were selected as the controls. The antinuclear antibody (ANA),
anti-filamentous actin antibodies (AFA) and anti-smooth muscle antibodies (SMA) in patients with AIH-Ⅰ
were evaluated by ELISA and the serum biochemical indicators in patients with AIH-Ⅰ type and the controls
were detected, all the results were analyzed by SPSS 19.00 software. Results The positive rates of ANA, AFA
and ASMA in patients with AIH-Ⅰ type were 84.66%, 75.46% and 70.55%, respectively. Except for ALP,
the biochemical indicators were significantly higher in patients with AIH-Ⅰ than those of the controls. The
ANA was lowly correlated with AST and TBil, the AFA was lowly correlated with ALT, AST and IgG and the
ASMA was lowly correlated with ALT, AST and IgM. Conclusions The autoantibodies including ANA, AFA
and ASMA have a low correlation with biochemical indicators in patients with AIH-Ⅰ, and the diagnostic
value of autoantibodies and biochemical indicators can not be replaced by each other.
