Autoimmune hepatitis, fatty liver, and Fukushima.

The use of direct antiviral agents (DAAs) for hepatitis C virus has led to a paradigm shift from viral hepatitis to non-viral disease. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) remains to be an issue in liver disease after the DAAs era. Moreover, fatty liver had been increasing in incidence and has attracted attention because of its risk for hepatocellular carcinoma. In 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake, with the associated tsunami and accident at Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, has changed the lifestyle of residents in Fukushima prefecture. In this manuscript, we outlined the recent topics about AIH, fatty liver, and Fukushima.
