Hepatitis Infection Open Access Articles

Hepatitis is usually caused by the hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E viruses. Other causes include excessive use of alcohol, other medications, toxins, other infections, autoimmune diseases and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Hepatitis A and E are mainly spread through contaminated food and water. Hepatitis B is primarily transmitted through sex, but it can also be transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy or childbirth and spread through infected blood. Hepatitis C is often spread through infected blood as may occur during needle sharing by drug users who do not. Hepatitis D can infect people who already have hepatitis B. Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver tissue. Some people with hepatitis have no symptoms, while others develop yellow skin and white eyes (jaundice), appetite, nausea, fatigue, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Hepatitis becomes severe if it resolves within six months, and lasts longer if it lasts longer than six months. Acute hepatitis can resolve on its own, progress to hepatitis, or (rarely) lead to severe liver failure. Chronic hepatitis can develop into cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer.
