I’m jealous! My AST and ALT were above normal for over 15 years. All community doctors just kept telling me it was fatty liver and brushing it off. Then in 2020 I started having severe fatigue. Doctor noticed low platelets and WBC due to enlarged spleen. Again community doctors were clueless. I had colon resection in 2023 and my liver enzymes went crazy. Now I am at Mayo. I have lost respect for community doctors as they just care about the number of patients they can see in a day and not about helping the patient. Glad they found your AIH early. Prednisone seems to help stop or slow the progression of the disease. I am only 61 but will need a transplant to survive. I was never sick until a couple of years ago. It’s frustrating to be healthy and suddenly be sick.
