A member asked:
I was asked what letter came after my autoimmune hepatitis. my hepatologist never said anything. what are the different types?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Autoimmune hepatitis: There are several types of Hepatitis - A, B, C, D, E, F, G. Autoimmune hepatitis has nothing to do with these. It is, as per it's name, an autoimmune disease whereby your body sees the liver as something foreign and produces antibodies against it. The diagnosis is usually made through exclusion of all other types of hepatitis infections. So, there is no letter.
