Lupoid Hepatitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Lupoid hepatitis, also known as autoimmune hepatitis, is a chronic inflammation of the liver in which the immune system itself attacks the liver cells. It is part of the group of autoimmune disorders and may present differently in each person.
Common manifestations: fatigue, abdominal discomfort, yellowing of the skin or eyes, and, at times, joint or skin problems.
Why it is followed up: because it is a chronic process, it requires ongoing monitoring to keep watch over the liver's health over time.
Which specialists treat it? Lupoid hepatitis is managed in gastroenterology and internal medicine, and rheumatology may take part because of its autoimmune nature. If you have persistent liver-related symptoms, an evaluation with one of these professionals helps you understand the source of the problem and plan appropriate care.
