“…The presence of emperipolesis indicates a close immune interaction between lymphocytes and hepatocytes, which may subsequently induce hepatocyte apoptosis and has been proposed as an additional mechanism of autoimmune-mediated liver injury in AIH. The frequency of emperipolesis found in the present study was far higher than that of the 2015 Japanese nationwide survey,22 which was also higher than the rate reported in classic AIH 68–70. Interestingly, emperipolesis was found to be more frequent in AIH patients with acute hepatitis than in those with chronic hepatitis (21.7% vs 12.2%, p=0.02) 22.…”

Interestingly, emperipolesis was found to be more frequent in AIH patients with acute hepatitis than in those with chronic hepatitis (21.7% vs 12.2%, p=0.02) 22. This may be a justification for our higher frequency than that of classic AIH, and emperipolesis may have been underestimated in the 2015 Japanese nationwide survey.…”
