Overall, patients with both AIH and overlap syndrome, as well as the whole combined group of AILD, had significantly higher levels (as compared to controls) of IL-6 (0.70 (range 0.17–99.86) in patients with AILD compared to 0.40 (range 0.14–2.65) in controls, p < 0.01), IL-8 (1.66 (0.45–34.58) versus 0.53 (0.35–2.38), resp., p < 0.01), and TNF-α (2.61 (0.23–120.88) versus 1.65 (0.21–7.54), resp., p < 0.01). Here, CXCL8 is linked to autoimmune hepatitis.
