Autoimmune Hepatitis
It's worth starting by noting that autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic inflammation of the liver in which the immune system itself attacks the liver cells. It is not contagious, and its course requires long-term follow-up.
Common symptoms: fatigue, abdominal discomfort, yellowing of the skin and eyes, and, at times, loss of appetite; it may also go unnoticed in its early stages.
When to see a doctor? When there is persistent fatigue, jaundice, or abnormal results on liver function tests, a careful evaluation is advisable.
Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist or hepatologist leads the care, with the support of the internist and the nutritionist for comprehensive management; a general practitioner can guide the first contact. Because it is a chronic condition, having regular professional follow-up is essential to protect the liver's health over time.
