While joint pains might seem unrelated to a liver condition, there’s a significant correlation when it comes to AIH. Individuals with AIH often report experiencing discomfort or pain in their joints.

This manifestation is due to the body’s immune response, which, in the case of AIH, mistakenly targets the liver. The immune system’s misdirected response can also affect other areas, including the joints, leading to pain and discomfort.

Understanding the connection between joint pain and AIH is pivotal. Individuals experiencing this symptom, especially in conjunction with others mentioned here, should consider it a potential signal of AIH. (6)
