You can differentiate these 2 conditions if ursodeoxycholic acid lowers the liver enzymes. I wonder why you have this question because these 2 conditions are two different entities unless you have NAFLD but serology tests are positive for autoimmune hepatitis.

Ursodeoxycholic acid is primarily used to treat primary biliary cirrhosis or primary biliary cholangitis as well as cholesterol gall stones. Primary biliary cholangitis is an autoimmune disorder.and I assume this is the condition you're being treated for. Your treatment reduces elevated liver enzymes by promoting better flow through the biliary system. Your gastroenterologist can advise you best
