No. The problem is that Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) has no identifiable virus. It MAY be viral (this article suggests many autoimmune diseases may be caused or triggered by viruses: Replicative homeostasis II: Influence of polymerase fidelity on RNA virus quasispecies biology: Implications for immune recognition, viral autoimmunity and other "virus receptor" diseases Richard Sallie
Virology Journal 2005, 2:70 doi:10.1186/1743-422X-2-70) but the cause is presently unknown, hence PCR (that is generally used to define the load of a specific virus in patietns with viral hepatitis) is not helpful (other than perhaps to exclude co-existent HCV).

My understanding is that it is your 'ordinary' immune system that is attacking the liver.. I have just been told I have AIH by a specialist and was told that basically this means that my immune system is in 'overdrive' . My doc also told me that I have 3 different antibodies related to AIH present in the blood. I became aware of AIH because my LFT's were way high. I am still yet to learn about AIH myself but will keep people informed as I learn new stuff.
Dr. Zhang has a treatment for AIH check out his website sinomedresearch dot com. Best wishes to you.
