Hi thanks for contacting HCM....
Noted you have chronic hepatitis .....
Your hepatitis b and c negative....
So following can be the cause......
-non alcoholic steatohepatitis
-alcohol hepatitis
-alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency
-Wilson disease
-autoimmune condition
-drug induce
Rule out above causes by detail history and work up....
From biopsy sections IHC or special stain can be done to rule out alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency or Wilson dz
Symptom of other systems also searched for.....
If autoimmune condition present immunosuppressive drug needed.
If abdominal pain and diarrhea with gluten diet then celiac disease ruled out....
Meanwhile low fat diet needed.
One tsp Cumin seed powder with buttermilk can be taken....
Take care.
If needed final treatment is transplantation..
