Hepatitis and Liver Diseases

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver. Inflammation can be brought on by excessive alcohol use, a range of medical disorders, and various anaesthetics. Viral influenza is the most frequent cause of hepatitis, though. Although viral infections are the most frequent cause of hepatitis, there are other probable causes as well. These include autoimmune hepatitis as well as liver infections brought on by alcohol, poisons, and anaesthetics. When we have autoimmune hepatitis, our bodies make antibodies that attack the liver.
