Well, do you have autoimmune hepatitis, is that what you are saying? From what I can understand about AIH is that the body tries to reject your liver just as it would your heart or kidney from Lupus.  Was your diagnosis by way of a biopsy? I don't know what kind of meds you take for the lupus but for AIH I take Imuran & prednisone.
I am very sorry if you are also suffering from regular Lupus & now have this.
These types of things run in families so have the rest of your family be on the lookout also for any type of autoimmune issues. My oldest brother has Cohrn's disease & Rhuematoid arthritis & both of those are autoimmune diseases. Both of my daughters have Graves disease & one is also pre-diabetic.
Let me know how you are doing.  Jody
