Hepatitis is a condition that causes inflammation of the liver, which can interfere with your liver’s ability to function properly. It can be caused by infections, toxins, or other medical conditions. If left untreated, it may lead to liver damage, scarring, or even liver failure over time. There are several types of Hepatitis, including Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E, with each type having different causes and potential long-term effects on your health.
Hepatitis can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
