Autoimmune Hepatitis

Hello....
I have just been diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis....my liver enzymes were elevated but are now down 1700 and responding well with only 1 week on prednisone...30 mgs a day.
It was very unusual because I did not have any severe symptoms other than jaundice which I know is bad enough but my liver is clear with no damage and the doctor has said something about the thrombin? being normal.....I guess I just want some more advice going on what he has already told me. I had a liver scan(ultrasound) and that was perfectly normal other than the inflammation. All of my blood work came back perfect! They were actually very impressed with all the levels of my blood etc. I have no other side effects to this disease and I am reading on the web and of course starting to scare myself into thinking I will not get better......what are the outlooks for healthy people with this disease.
Thanks very much for your time.....

The only piece I can help with is concerning the prothrombin time.

With severe liver disease sometimes the prothrombin time is very prolonged. So, it is good news that yours is normal!
