granulomatous portal hepatitis

Hi

Can anyone help?

What does granulomatous portal hepatitis mean.

Thanks

This is the blurb that is given on the 'hepatitis central' webpage;

'A multifactorial infiltrative liver disorder with or without additional hepatic inflammation and fibrosis. The term “granulomatous hepatitis” is often used, but the condition is not a true hepatitis. Hepatic granulomas are found in about 3 to 10% of liver biopsies. There may be insignificant incidental findings, but more often they reflect clinically relevant disease –usually a systemic disorder rather than primary liver disease.'

It looks as though it's something that can be reversed but it is best you speak to your doctor and find out what they have planned.

Best of Luck!
