I am a 31 year old female and I have recently been diagnosed with autoimmune hepatitis. I have been diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome for about 10 years and am on Plaquenil 200mg per day. My AST and ALT are twice normal, as is my IgG. My liver biosy showed Grade 2 inflammation and Stage I fibrosis. My current GI doc feels that there is no need to treat at this stage and that a wait and see approach is better. He wants to monitor my LFT's and only start treatment if they become more elevated. I, however, would like to get pregnant and after researching this further am not sure that is the best treatment option. Any help would be appreciated, as would any suggestions for specialists in the NYC area.
