Autoimmune liver disease damage to liver function usually takes more than half a year to recover, but the exact length of time is related to the severity and effectiveness of treatment.
Autoimmune liver disease is caused by autoantibody disorders, that is, autoimmune factors leading to liver damage. The most common autoimmune liver diseases include autoimmune hepatitis, autoimmune sclerosing cholangitis, and primary biliary cirrhosis. Of these, autoimmune hepatitis causes elevated aminotransferases, elevated transpeptidases, and elevated phosphatases.
If the liver is not seriously affected, there is no obvious damage to the morphology and structure of the liver, and the transaminase value is not too obviously elevated below 100U/L, generally speaking, through active liver-protecting medication, it can gradually return to normal in about two weeks’ time.
However, if the damage of autoimmune liver disease has not been effectively controlled, so that the liver function continues to decline, and the transaminase value has been elevated above 200U/L, the recovery time is relatively long, and it may take more than half a year, or even accompanied by a lifetime, until death.
