What is Autoimmune Hepatitis
Autoimmune Hepatitis is a condition where the body’s own immune system mistakenly attacks the liver cells, thinking they are harmful.
- This leads to liver inflammation (swelling and irritation).
- If not treated early, it can progress to scarring (cirrhosis) or liver weakness.
With homeopathy and careful lifestyle support, symptoms can be managed and liver function can be protected.
Causes
- The exact cause is not always known, but common factors include:
- Overactive immune system mistakenly attacking liver cells
- Genetic tendency (runs in some families)
- Triggering factors: certain infections, medicines, or toxins
- More common in women and can appear at any age
Symptoms
- Feeling tired and weak
- Loss of appetite
- Mild pain or heaviness in the right upper abdomen
- Yellowing of eyes and skin (jaundice)
- Dark urine, pale stools
- Joint pains (sometimes)
- In women: irregular periods may occur

Some patients may have no symptoms at first and it is only detected in blood tests.
