Table 1.  Demographic and clinical variables in both AIH and PSC groups.

Table 2.  Histopathology variables in both AIH and PSC groups.

Figure 1.  Composite photomicrograph. A&B were taken from a patient with autoimmune hepatitis and C&D from another patient with primary sclerosing cholangitis. A. H&E-stained slide with a 4× lens demonstrates a cirrhotic liver with bands of bridging fibrosis and regenerative nodules. B. Trichrome-stained liver with a 4× lens taken at the same area as the H&E-stained section from A highlighting the bridging fibrosis in blue. C. H&E-stained slide with a 40× lens showing extensive chronic inflammation extending beyond the limiting plate and a few compressed bile ducts. D. H&E-stained slide with a 40× lens depicts moderate chronic inflammation surrounding the bile duct.
