Hello sir/madam. One month ago, my dad said that he is having pain in his shoulder, finger &knee joints then after few hrs, he was not able to move his hands & legs, then the very next day, we took him to the rheumatologist because our relatives said that these symptoms are of arthritis then the doc (rheumatologist & immunologist) told us to do lft test,& the result were like this- s.g.o.t - (65.0) s.g.p.t - (558.0) serum bilirubin total- (1.5) direct - (0.42) serum globulin - (4.5) then that doctor suggested these medicines - 1.hcq-300 2.urscol-30 3.tyzocort-12 after this he felt well & was able to move his hand & legs. Because of high level sgpt we took a second opinion of a doctor (gastroenterologist & hematologist) then he suggested these tests to us and so the results were- 1.lipid profile - normal 2.ceruloplasmin- 36.56 mg/dl 3.feritin- 387.63 ng/ml 4.ana- 0.3 5.anti lkm1 - negative <0.8 6.asma-positive (1+) 7.usg abdomen- normal then seeing these reports he said that it is probably - 1. Type-1 autoimmune hepatitis 2. Polyarthritis and told us to take these medicines 1.omnacortil-40 2.azoran-50 and told us to continue those medicines - hcq, ursocol,razo. But that 1st doctor said us that asma (1+) is may or may not be the aih type -1, and said to wait 10 days and told not to take omnacortil & azoran and said us to continue his prescribed medicines. After 10 we did our lft test as said the doctor, and the result was- s.g.o.t - (23.5 iu/l) s.g.p.t - (27.4 iu/l) total bilirubin - (1.4 mg/dl) direct bilirubin - (0.5 mg/dl) now my dad is well ,but I want to know that is he suffering from aih type-1? What is your suggestion after seeing all these reports? Only I want to know that is it aih type -1 or not? Hello sir/madam.
