Abstract
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a complex disease with a chronic cell-mediated immunologic process against healthy liver cells. The clinical presentation can vary since the exact cause of AIH is multifactorial. Here, we report a case of a 61-year-old woman with a past medical history of post-traumatic stress disorder and hypothyroidism who presented clinically with diffuse abdominal distention, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, rash on the torso and legs, and tea-burnt orange urine. The patient underwent an initial workup with a complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), with results leading towards a mixed intra- and extrahepatic process. This report will show various findings related to AIH to improve the detection and treatment of these patients early on.
