Yeah took us a long time to really find someone to talk to as well. My daughter was hospitalized for 3 days and had a colonoscopy, endoscopy, and liver biopsy. When she went into hospital her liver enzymes were in the 600- 900 range. These are the alt, ast, and alkaline phosphate levels. Multiple other lab test that were confusing the Dr and after basically ruling everything else out and the hepatitis panal finally came back is when they went with the AIH. Long process to diagnose then she has had Labs every 6 weeks for the last year. Three meds later I think we finally found the one that is working for her.
