Scully's illness
Scully's illness is likely a form of autoimmune hepatitis, where her immune system mistakenly attacks her liver cells, causing inflammation and damage. This condition can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), and abdominal discomfort. It often requires immunosuppressive medications to control the immune response and prevent further liver injury. If untreated, it can progress to cirrhosis or liver failure. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial for managing symptoms and maintaining liver health.
