What is Hepatitis

Hepatitis, inflammation of the liver, is primarily caused by infectious viruses—types A, B, C, D, and E—each varying in transmission, severity, and prevalence. Chronic forms, notably types B and C, lead to liver cirrhosis and cancer, affecting approximately 354 million people globally. Although other factors like alcohol, toxins, and certain medications can also cause hepatitis, viral infections are the most common. Effective prevention and treatment are critical, especially in places like the United States where hepatitis A, B, and C are most prevalent. Access to testing and treatment remains limited for many.

Hepatitis Symptoms:

If you have a chronic form of hepatitis, such as hepatitis B or C, you may not have symptoms until the damage impacts liver function. Acute hepatitis, on the other hand, may manifest symptoms soon after receiving a hepatitis virus. Hepatitis may start and get better quickly. It may also become a long-term condition. In some cases, hepatitis may lead to liver damage, liver failure, cirrhosis, liver cancer or even death. The symptoms of hepatitis include:

• Pain or bloating in the belly area
• Dark urine and pale or clay-coloured stools
• Fatigue
• Low grade fever
• Itching
• Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
• Loss of appetite
• Nausea and vomiting
• Weight loss

When you initially become infected with hepatitis B or C, you may not experience any symptoms. You may still develop liver failure later. If you have any risk factors for any type of hepatitis, you should get checked regularly.
