Liver Inflammation:

Liver inflammation, or hepatitis, can be acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term). It can occur due to viral infections (such as hepatitis viruses A, B, C, etc.), autoimmune diseases (where the immune system attacks liver cells), excessive alcohol consumption, certain medications or toxins, and metabolic disorders.

FAQ's

Symptoms may include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), abdominal pain or discomfort, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, dark urine, and clay-colored stools. Some people with chronic hepatitis may not experience symptoms initially.

Liver inflammation can result from viral infections (hepatitis viruses), autoimmune diseases (such as autoimmune hepatitis), excessive alcohol consumption, certain medications (like acetaminophen overdose), fatty liver disease, and metabolic disorders.

Diagnosis involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, blood tests to assess liver function and detect viral antibodies or antigens, imaging studies (such as ultrasound or CT scan), and sometimes liver biopsy to determine the extent of liver damage.

Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity of liver inflammation. It may include antiviral medications for viral hepatitis, corticosteroids or immunosuppressants for autoimmune hepatitis, lifestyle modifications (such as alcohol cessation and weight management), and avoiding medications that may harm the liver.
