Autoimmune Hepatitis
Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH), also known as autoimmune liver disease, is a rare and progressive autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the liver. It is characterized by inflammation and damage to the liver cells, leading to various symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, and itching. The exact cause of AIH is not known, but research has identified genetic and environmental factors that may contribute. Currently, there are several treatment options available for AIH patients, including medications to manage symptoms and medications to slow down the progression of the disease. The management of AIH also involves a dietary plan and regular exercise to maintain overall health. Although AIH is a serious condition, early detection and treatment can improve outcomes and reduce the risk of complications. It is important for individuals with AIH to work closely with their healthcare provider to develop an individualized treatment plan that meets their specific needs. With proper care, many AIH patients can lead fulfilling lives and maintain a high quality of life.
