    chronic liver disease where the immune system attacks liver cells

    Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic liver disease where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks liver cells, leading to inflammation and potential liver damage. This condition can result in symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, and abdominal pain, and if left untreated, it may progress to cirrhosis or liver failure. Treatment typically involves immunosuppressive medications to reduce immune system activity and manage inflammation.
