How Can Auto Immune Hepatitis With Feet Swelling Be Treated?

Thanks for enquiring about my health. I am sorry for reverting back to you. As I told you I am suffering from auto immune hepatitis for more than a year. I enclose two repoprts one being the latest one for you to peruse and suggest me the course of treatment. Lately, I have developed swelling on my feet and doctors say that it is due to protein deficiency. I am taking protein supplements. The liver parameters are very high and as I am told that as billi rubin level decreases other parameters would also decrease. I await your reply.
