Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @lmpa65. Good to hear you have been diagnosed recently so you know what you are dealing with with the severe fatty liver, primary biliary cholangitis and autoimmune hepatitis. That sounds like a lot to contend with.
Hoping that in this discussion you will get to chat with members in this discussion such as @jl42 @elouise @trishwrite1 @mayo99824 and others so they can tell you about their journeys with liver disease.
When will your blood tests occur, lmpa65? If the azathioprine is not an option after the blood test results, what is the alternative for you?

They drew my blood yesterday. The TPMT test I am sure gets sent off. I’m guessing but am not expecting to be a quick result. Yesterday’s blood test did show that liver functions have improved. Certainly not normal but better nonetheless and I’ll take that. It does mean that the evil steroids are at least helping. It’s a double edged sword though because they mention the years of steroids I’ve been on due to the other autoimmune disorder that I have (Cogsns syndrome) has caused the fatty liver along with many years of methotrexate.
I’m not sure what is next if I can’t take the azathioprine
