Autoimmune Liver Disease Treatment at Southern California Fatty Liver Center (SCFLC)
At Southern California Fatty Liver Center (SCFLC), we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of Autoimmune Liver Diseases, such as Autoimmune Hepatitis, Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC), and Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). These conditions occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the liver, leading to inflammation, liver damage, and, if left untreated, liver failure. Our expert team offers comprehensive, personalized care to help manage and treat these complex diseases.
What is Autoimmune Liver Disease?
Autoimmune liver diseases are chronic conditions where the immune system targets the liver, causing inflammation and damage. The most common types are:
Autoimmune Hepatitis: The immune system attacks liver cells, leading to chronic inflammation.
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC): The immune system damages the bile ducts in the liver, affecting bile flow and causing liver damage over time.
Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC): The bile ducts become scarred and narrowed due to immune system activity, leading to liver damage and potential cirrhosis.
These diseases can progress over time, and early detection and treatment are key to managing symptoms and slowing progression.
