Does Beta Glucan help or hinder treatment of high liver enzymes? I had autoimmune hepatitis and it was treated. Now, rising ALT (91) and AST (65) numbers are a concern.

Hello Angela, it's a type of antibody that can be identified in a blood test. When the antibody is found in the blood sample, it's called positive.

No, not contagious. It's not an infection from bacteria or virus. It's immune attacking liver cells.

Autoimmune hepatitis can be controlled but cannot be cured. The treatment helps manage symptoms and prevent further damage to your liver. Doctors typically prescribe prednisone.
