Final Thoughts on the Prognosis of Autoimmune Hepatitis

People who have been diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis -- as well as the loved ones of people with autoimmune hepatitis -- face many unknowns. While some people find that it is easier to cope when they know the statistics, other people find statistical information confusing and frightening, and they think it is too impersonal to be of use to them. The doctor who is most familiar with your situation is in the best position to discuss your prognosis and to explain what the statistics of autoimmune hepatitis may mean for your particular situation. At the same time, it is important to understand that even the doctor cannot know exactly what to expect.
