Autoimmune hepatitisAutoimmune hepatitis is a long-term disease that makes the body's defenses (or immune system) attack the liver. This causes liver inflammation and damage. Sometimes chemicals, certain medicines, or a virus can cause cells in your body to attack your liver. Autoimmune chronic hepatitis can be treated successfully with medicine and sometimes by a liver transplant.
