A first classification of chronic hepatitis was proposed25 years ago (1). At that time the causes of chronic hepatitis were largely unknown, and most cases were assumed to be autoimmune in nature (so-called lupoid hepatitis)(2). The proposed classification was aimed at distinguishing subgroups according to the degree of disease activity to provide prognostic information and criteria for the use of immunosuppressive therapy. In the initial classification, distinction was made between a milder category of disease, termed chronic persistent hepatitis, and variants with more severe disease activity, termed chronic aggressive hepatitis.
