Hepatitis Disease
Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. The liver is a vital organ that processes nutrients, filters the blood, and fights infections. When the liver is inflamed or damaged, its function can be affected. Heavy alcohol use, toxins, some medications, and certain medical conditions can cause hepatitis.
Causes of Hepatitis
* Immune cells in the body attacking the liver
* Infections from viruses (such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C), bacteria, or parasites
* Liver damage from alcohol or poison
* Medicines, such as an overdose of acetaminophen
* Fatty liver
Hepatitis B Symptoms
Symptoms are variable and include yellowing of the eyes, abdominal pain and dark urine. Some people, particularly children, don’t experience any symptoms. In chronic cases, liver failure, cancer or scarring can occur.
Hepatitis C Symptoms
Most people have no symptoms. Those who do develop symptoms may have fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite and yellowing of the eyes and skin. Also common is depression.
There are treatments for hepatitis using herbal products.
