The main results of studies on autoimmune liver diseases.

Reference	Methods	Sample	Main findings
[53]	UPLC-MS	Serum	Glycochenodeoxycholic acid, FFA, LPC-16:0, PC-16:0/16:0, and SM could be used to diagnose AIH and PBC accurately.
[54]	UPLC-MS/MS	Serum	LCA-S, TDCA, and GDCA were significantly different between PSC and PBC samples.
[55]	^1H-NMR	Serum	Citrate, glutamine, acetone, pyruvate, β-hydroxyisobutyrate, acetoacetate, histidine, dimethylamine, and creatinine had a high diagnostic accuracy for the discrimination of AIH from PBC.
