Overview

Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver, which can result from viral infection, alcohol, drugs and toxins, metabolic disease, or autoimmune processes. The most common infectious causes are the hepatitis viruses, notably hepatitis A, B, and C, which differ in their routes of transmission, natural history, and potential to become chronic. Acute hepatitis may resolve or, particularly with hepatitis B and C, progress to chronic infection that drives ongoing liver injury, fibrosis, cirrhosis, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Manifestations range from asymptomatic infection to jaundice, fatigue, and abdominal symptoms, and assessment relies on clinical evaluation, liver-function tests, serology, viral markers, imaging, and measures of liver stiffness. Management depends on the cause and includes antiviral therapy for chronic viral hepatitis, supportive and lifestyle measures, and surveillance for complications, while vaccination prevents certain forms. Research relevant to this topic includes retrospective hospital-based studies of chronic liver disease, the treatment of chronic hepatitis B with antiviral agents such as tenofovir, the role of angiogenic markers in hepatocellular carcinoma complicating hepatitis C infection, the assessment of liver stiffness in cirrhosis, the relationship between nutrition, epigenetics, and liver disease, and the evaluation of co-infections and comorbidities, reflecting the spectrum of inflammatory liver disease and its consequences.
