Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is an acute inflammatory liver disease caused not only by prescription and over-the-counter medications but also by health foods and dietary supplements. Typically, DILI patients recover once the causative substance is identified and discontinued. In contrast, autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) results from the immune-mediated destruction of hepatocytes due to a breakdown of self-tolerance mechanisms. Patients presenting with acute-onset AIH often lack characteristic clinical features, such as autoantibodies, and require prompt steroid treatment to prevent progression to liver failure. Liver biopsy currently remains the gold standard to differentiate acute DILI from AIH; however, general pathologists face significant diagnostic challenges due to overlapping histopathological features. This study integrates pathology expertise with deep learning-based artificial intelligence (AI) to differentiate DILI from AIH using histopathological images. Our AI model demonstrates promising classification accuracy (Accuracy 74%, AUC 0.81). This paper presents a detailed pathological analysis alongside AI methods, discusses the current model performance and limitations, and proposes directions for future improvements.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
