hepatitis
Viral liver disease
Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver, typically caused by viral infection.
The major types—hepatitis A, B, and C—differ in transmission and severity.
A spreads through contaminated food or water, while B and C spread through blood and bodily fluids.
Hepatitis can also result from alcohol abuse, toxins, or autoimmune conditions.
Symptoms include jaundice, fatigue, and abdominal pain, though some forms remain asymptomatic for years.
