Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic immune liver disease where the body's defenses mistakenly attack liver cells, causing inflammation and potential scarring. Dr. Omer diagnoses this through blood tests, imaging, and sometimes liver biopsy, then guides patients through evidence-based hepatitis treatment to slow disease progression and preserve liver function.
Autoimmune hepatitis involves the immune system attacking your liver cells over months or years. During diagnosis, Dr. Omer reviews your blood work, ultrasound findings, and sometimes performs a small liver biopsy to confirm the condition. The entire diagnostic process typically takes several hours.
Autoimmune hepatitis is recommended when patients have elevated liver enzymes, jaundice, fatigue, or abdominal discomfort. Dr. Omer investigates whether chronic liver inflammation reflects autoimmune liver disorder or another cause, allowing him to prescribe targeted immune-suppressing medications or monitor the condition closely to prevent cirrhosis.
Autoimmune hepatitis commonly affects women in their thirties to fifties, though men and younger patients can develop it too. You may need evaluation if you have prolonged fatigue, joint pain, itching, or a family history of autoimmune disease. Dr. Omer assesses your unique risk profile during the initial consultation.
Before autoimmune hepatitis evaluation, avoid certain medications if advised and maintain normal eating habits unless Dr. Omer specifies otherwise. Bring all previous blood test results and ultrasound reports. If a liver biopsy is needed, light sedation may be offered. Recovery is typically quick, with most patients resuming normal activities within a day.
