Autoimmune Hepatitis Therapy

Autoimmune Hepatitis Therapy in North Houston, Humble & The Woodlands

Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic liver disease where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks liver cells, causing inflammation and potentially leading to cirrhosis if not properly managed.

At DLDC, we offer accurate diagnosis through blood tests, imaging, and liver biopsy, followed by individualized treatment using immune-suppressing medications such as corticosteroids and azathioprine. Regular follow-ups and liver function monitoring help keep the disease under control and preserve liver health.

DLDC provides compassionate care for autoimmune hepatitis across Houston, The Woodlands, Humble, and Baytown via gimed.net. If you're experiencing fatigue, jaundice, or abnormal liver tests, don’t delay—early treatment can make all the difference.
