鉴于“慢性肝炎”一词包括多种不同临床特点和病理表现,于1968年欧州肝病研究协会确立新的分类法,慢性肝炎大体可分为两型:慢性持续性肝炎(CPH,慢性迁延性肝炎)与慢性进行性肝炎(CAH,慢性活动性肝炎),而这种分类主要是以肝活检组织学为依据的。CPH 为良性的、非进行性的,通常无需特殊治疗,而 CAH 通常被认为是进行性的,常发展为肝硬化,应用强的松或强的松与硫唑嘌呤联合治疗后临 Since the term “chronic hepatitis” includes many different clinical features and pathological findings, a new taxonomy was established by the European Association for the Study of the Liver Disease in 1968. Chronic hepatitis can be broadly classified into two types: chronic persistent hepatitis (CPH) Hepatitis) and chronic progressive hepatitis (CAH, chronic active hepatitis), and this classification is mainly based on liver biopsy histology. CPH is benign, non-progressive, usually without special treatment, and CAH is generally considered to be progressive, often develop cirrhosis, prednisone or prednisone combined with azathioprine after treatment
