Hi,

There is mild inflammation in the liver and there are sudden episodes of vasculitis, this is alarming. Steroids are the drug of choice. Don’t worry, you are on the right path. Liver enzymes are not that deranged. Dietary modifications will help.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Harshita,
