Hepatitis
Hepatitis simply refers to inflammation and/or injury of the liver. There are many causes of hepatitis . The most common causes of hepatitis include
- infections (viral being the most common, but also bacterial and fungal)
- alcohol abuse
- medications (certain over-the-counter and prescription medications can lead to liver injury)
- autoimmune disorders
- fatty deposits in the liver, such as those that may form in diabetic patients.
When most people refer to hepatitis, they are probably talking about viral hepatitis, which is classified into several types. Hepatitis A, which is very common in underdeveloped countries, is acquired from water or food sources. This type of hepatitis is usually mild and may sometimes be discovered only by blood testing. Hepatitis A never leads to chronic liver disease.
