question: Hello - My mother was diagnosed with autoimmune cholangiopathy in 2005.  She began her treatment with prednisone and responded positively to it and was then take off of the prednisone.  After being take off, her liver levels elevated again and was put back on steroids and is now on Urso and Imuran for the rest of her life.  Since 2008 she has been experiencing sporadic nausea which has become increasingly debilitating this last month.  Can you please give me a prognosis for autoimmune choloangiopathy in patients who are being treated for it?
