Hepatitis (Liver Inflammation)

Hepatitis refers to inflammation of the liver, which can be caused by viral infections, autoimmune disorders, alcohol abuse, or toxins. The condition can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term), leading to severe liver damage if untreated.

Types of Hepatitis

1. Hepatitis A (HAV) – Spread through contaminated food and water. Usually resolves on its own.

2. Hepatitis B (HBV) – A serious viral infection transmitted through blood, sexual contact, or from mother to child. Can lead to chronic liver disease.

3. Hepatitis C (HCV) – Primarily spread through blood contact (e.g., shared needles). Can cause chronic liver damage.

4. Hepatitis D (HDV) – Occurs only in people infected with Hepatitis B, making the disease more severe.

5. Hepatitis E (HEV) – Spread through contaminated water; more common in developing countries.

6. Autoimmune Hepatitis – The immune system mistakenly attacks liver cells, leading to chronic inflammation.

Symptoms of Hepatitis

• Fatigue and weakness

• Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes)

• Loss of appetite and nausea

• Abdominal pain (especially in the upper right side)
