Hepatitis (A, B, C, toxic)
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, most often caused by an infection with a virus, but sometimes by alcoholism, or intoxication by a drug or a chemical.
The symptoms vary a lot from person to person and depend on the cause of hepatitis. Some types of hepatitis cause the destruction of part of the liver.
The majority of hepatitis resolves spontaneously, without leaving any sequelae. Sometimes the disease persists for several months. When it lasts more than 6 months, it is considered chronic. When the liver is severely affected, a transplant of this organ may be the only solution.
