In this episode of Dr WHO, we discuss Hepatitis, its diagnosis, symptoms, treatment and everything you need to know.
Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. The liver is a vital organ that processes nutrients, filters the blood, and fights infections. When the liver is inflamed or damaged, its function can be affected. Heavy alcohol use, toxins, some medications, and certain medical conditions can cause hepatitis.
There are at least six different types of hepatitis (A-G), with the three most common types being hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C.
What Causes the Different Types? The type of virus that's causing your hepatitis affects how severe your disease is and how long it lasts.
