To Pat - Digest Number 3005

April 27, 2003

Hi Pat,

You'll think this is silly because I'm a long way from New York, the Mayo

clinic and even the US. I'm in Australia, but my Gastro firmly believes

that Dr Czaja at te Mayo clinic is the guru where AIH is concerned. He had

a lot of trouble getting my liver enzymes to normal (2 1/2 years) and he

eventually wrote to Dr Czaja. His response (I have a copy) was extremely

detailed and informative about my particular case. My enzymes are all

normal now except for the GGT and Alk Phos which are indicators of AIC.

Please let me know if you do eventually see him, I would be interested to

know what he's like and whether you think he has helped you.

Regards,

Bozena (Brisbane, Australia)
