Viral Hepatitis

Viral Hepatitis is an infection that causes inflammation of the liver. The most common types are Hepatitis A, B, C, and E. Some forms spread through contaminated food or water, while others are transmitted through infected blood or body fluids. Symptoms may include fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal discomfort, dark urine, and yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice). Many people, especially those with Hepatitis B or C, may have no symptoms until significant liver damage has occurred.

Early diagnosis is important because untreated hepatitis can lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Vaccination is available for Hepatitis A and B, and maintaining good hygiene and safe medical practices can reduce the risk of infection. Timely medical care allows appropriate treatment and long-term monitoring, helping protect your liver and overall health.
