Guest guest Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 I got the results of the liver biopsy today. I have Auto Immune Hepatitis along with liver damage. That is the bad news. The good news is that the auto immune suppressant medication may put the condition into remission. I have started 20mg. pred. and azathioprine (Imuran) 50mg. as of today. I suspected it with the symptoms, but didn't want to say it. There is some active Cirrhosis and liver damage. My doctor is in hopes that the drugs will stop all the activity going on in my liver. That is about all I know. I've been researching (arming myself with info), and just taking it in. I feel that I am beginning to understand PA and not I have all this to learn about and fight. One good thing. The medicine should fight the PA symtoms too. So, maybe my skin will improve and it will help the ruemy too Does anyone have any experience with this disease, self, family or friends? I would appreciate any information I can get. I found a lot of good websites, one in paticular,that that is easier to digest than the others. Of course I'm going surfing for a support group too. :-) Can't do without that. Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
