Abstract

A 24-year-old man experienced nausea, jaundice, and weight loss, leading to elevated serum transaminases. After several tests, he was diagnosed with celiac disease and started on a gluten-free diet. However, liver biopsy revealed moderately active autoimmune hepatitis. He began treatment with prednisone, resulting in significant improvement in liver enzyme levels. This case illustrates the challenges of diagnosing autoimmune hepatitis in young patients with mild transaminase elevations and underscores the importance of considering autoimmune causes. The patient continues under follow-up care.
