Hepatitis
Hepatitis refers to an inflammatory condition of the liver. The most common cause worldwide is viruses.Other causes include heavy alcohol use and others.These include autoimmune hepatitis and hepatitis that occurs as a secondary result of medications, drugs, toxins, and alcohol. Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease that occurs when your body makes antibodies against your liver tissue. It performs many critical functions that affect metabolism throughout your body, including:
-bile production, which is essential to digestion
-filtering of toxins from your body
-excretion of bilirubin (a product of broken-down red blood cells), cholesterol, hormones, and drugs
-breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
-activation of enzymes, which are specialized proteins essential to body functions
-storage of glycogen (a form of sugar), minerals, and vitamins (A, D, E, and K)
-synthesis of blood proteins, such as albumin
-synthesis of clotting factors
Some people have no symptoms whereas others develops:-
- fatigue
-flu like symptoms
-dark urine
-pale stool
-abdominal pain
-loss of appetite
-unexplained weight loss
-yellow skin and eyes, which may be signs of jaundice
Chronic hepatitis develops slowly, so these signs and symptoms may be too subtle to notice.
Hepatitis may be temporary (acute) or long term (chronic) depending on whether it lasts for less than or more than six months. Acute hepatitis can sometimes resolve on its own, progress to chronic hepatitis, or rarely result in acute liver failure. Over time the chronic form may progress to scarring of liver, liver failure, liver cancer. Viral infections of the liver that are classified as hepatitis include hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. A different virus is responsible for each type of virally transmitted hepatitis.
Treatment options vary depending on which type of hepatitis you have. You can prevent some forms of hepatitis through immunizations and lifestyle precautions.
