Symptoms of Autoimmune Hepatitis
The most important function of the body's immune system is protect it from all the dangerous bacteria, fungi and viruses which cause various health ailments. In normal cases, the immune system doesn't cause damage to the healthy living cells of the body. However, in some cases, the immune system of the body starts destroying the healthy cells it should protect; this sudden change in routine is called autoimmunity. Now we come to autoimmune hepatitis. Autoimmune hepatitis or autoimmune chronic hepatitis is a condition in which the body suffers from continuous liver inflammation. In autoimmune hepatitis, the body's immune system attacks the healthy living liver cells, which triggers the inflammation. Most doctors think that this condition is genetic, and autoimmune hepatitis is mostly found in women. 

Autoimmune hepatitis symptoms may differ from person to person, but it's very necessary to know about them so that immediate diagnosis can be made and treatment could be started. One of the most common complaints that people have is severe abdominal pain and exhaustion.

An enlarged liver and appearance of blood vessels on the skin is also a rare symptom. You may also suffer fluid accumulation in your stomach and frequent blackouts.
