I appreciate those of you have emailed me in response to my post, Down with the Sickness. Many of you have asked me what exactly Autoimmune Hepatitis is - so I thought that I’d take a break from my normal incoherent ramblings and share a little more about this disease.
Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease in which the body’s immune system attacks liver cells. This causes the liver to become inflamed (hepatitis). About 70 percent of those with autoimmune hepatitis are women, most between the ages of 15 and 40. (Yeah - I can hear the jokes now - thanks for your compassion! :).
