Autoimmune Hepatitis

Posted by Pcn3 @boomcan, 2 days ago

I am curious about the dosage of Azathioprine for AIH. Liver Enzymes were highly elevated and I was put on Prednisone and then weaned off for Azathioprine (100 mg) per day. Liver Enzymes starting rising again and was placed back on a prednisone taper for one month (half way through now). I am wondering if anyone else experienced elevated enzymes with 75 or 100 mg. Also wondering about anyone's experience with just 50 mg of Azathioprine. I was diagnosed with PBC in January 2024. Unable to tolerate Ursodiol and was placed on Ocaliva, then liver numbers skyrocketed. Stopped Ocaliva and now I also have Auto Immune Hepatitis. Appreciate hearing your experience with AIH and Azathioprine. Also interested in hearing from anyone who may be on low dose ongoing prednisone. Thanks.
