Researchers think a genetic factor may predispose some people to autoimmune diseases. About 70 percent of those with autoimmune hepatitis are women, most between the ages of 15 and 40. There are alot more people with AIH than you realize. . Alot of people just say they have Hepatiitis and don’t say Auto Immune because people hear that and think AIDS. I’m glad to hear that your mom is in remission!

One of my friends has it. It is good to know that your mom is in remission. My friend is in line for a liver transplant and has been told that she has to be on medication for the rest of her life. Best of luck.
