Autoimmune Hepatitis
Hepatitis is a general term indicating inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis can be caused by viruses, drugs, lack of blood flow (ischemia) and in some cases the immune system attacks the liver causing “autoimmune hepatitis.” Autoimmune hepatitis can occur in all age groups and both genders, however, it is most common in young adults and those in the fourth-sixth decades and is more common in women with an 3.6:1 female to male predominance (1-3).
Liver Disorder
Your liver is a vital organ for everything from digesting and absorbing nutrients, to building important bodily proteins, to filtering toxic substances from your blood. When it starts acting up, there are a variety of liver disorders and conditions that may be to blame.
