AIH - hereditary?
by Wendy, Mar 07, 2000 12:00AM
Following some hospital tests for recurrent stomach pain a liver function test showed an elevated ALT (only slightly elevated 55 (ref 2-31). The tests were negative and a diagnosis of IBS was reached.
My mother has been diagnosed with AIH 3 years ago and is on a very high dose of prednisolone and azathriopine with the possibility of going on the transplant list.
The doctor does not seem too concerned and said the chances are I just have a mild virus that has caused the increase.
Do you think I should change to a GI specialist and follow-up or should I just take my GP's advice and leave it be?
This site is excellent - thank you so much for your guidance.
