Hello

Thanks for asking query on HCM. You have a overlap syndrome with PSC and autoimmune hepatitis which is progressing to cirrhosis and you are on prednisolone along with other medications. In such situations if you have fever (temp >99 F), you need to see your liver doctor because you may have infection and need to be started on antibiotics. You need to under regular medical attention.

Take care.
