What are the symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis?
A. The most common symptom of autoimmune hepatitis is fatigue. Recurrent jaundice frequently develops in severe cases. Extrahepatic features (those that involve organs and tissue other than the liver) result from the immune system harming other organs of the body. These symptoms can include amenorrhea (absence of menstrual period), bloody diarrhea (due to ulcerative colitis), abdominal pain, arthritis, rashes, anemia, glomerulonephritis (a form of kidney disease), dry eyes, and dry mouth. Symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis tend to develop slowly over a period of several weeks or months.
