PMID: 35758506

DOI: 10.1097/MPG.0000000000003534

Abstract
Objectives: The clinical significance of autoantibody positivity in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NALD) in the absence of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) remains uncertain. We aimed to determine the prevalence of autoantibodies in a pediatric cohort with biopsy-proven NAFLD and investigate the association between autoantibodies and NAFLD histologic grade.
