Hepatitis

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, commonly caused by viral infections, but it can also result from toxins, medications, heavy alcohol use, and autoimmune diseases. The inflammation can lead to liver damage and affect its function.

Types of Hepatitis

Hepatitis A (HAV)

Caused by consuming contaminated food or water. It is an acute, short-term disease.

Hepatitis B (HBV)

Spread through contact with infectious body fluids, such as blood, semen, or saliva. It can be acute or chronic.

Hepatitis C (HCV)

Spread primarily through blood-to-blood contact. Most cases become chronic.

Hepatitis D (HDV)

Occurs only in those infected with HBV, as it requires the hepatitis B virus to replicate. It can be acute or chronic.

Hepatitis E (HEV)

Usually caused by consuming contaminated water. It is generally acute but can be severe in pregnant women.

Autoimmune Hepatitis

The body's immune system attacks liver cells, causing inflammation.

Alcoholic Hepatitis

Caused by excessive alcohol consumption.

Toxic Hepatitis

Caused by chemicals, drugs, or other toxins.
