I have been experiencing a wide range of symptoms lately, which I will choose not to go into here, as you probably know the symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis. The doctor ordered blood tests, which I will have done tomorrow. Can anyone help me prepare for the blood tests? How much blood are they going to take, and is there anything else that I need to know?

They are likely to take around five vials of your blood for research purposes. You probably have to refrain from eating before you have your blood taken, but this is standard procedure and not particularly related to autoimmune hepatitis. It may happen that they ask for a more invasive procedure, during which they will take a liver sample, to conform your diagnosis. But this does not always happen.
