Hepatitis

What is Hepatitis ?
Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver. There are several types of hepatitis, and the disease has several causes.

Causes of Hepatitis
Depending on the virus, hepatitis can be spread in a number of ways, including

Contact with the stool of an infected person (hepatitis A)
Eating shellfish from waters contaminated with sewage (hepatitis A)
Contact with the blood, vaginal fluids, semen or breast milk of an infected person (hepatitis B)
Unprotected sex (hepatitis B and C)
Sharing contaminated needles (hepatitis B, C and D)

Symptoms of Hepatitis
Symptoms of hepatitis vary depending on the cause of the illness and how much the liver has been damaged. In mild cases, many people do not have any symptoms or have flulike symptoms that can include fever, a generally tired or ill feeling, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea and muscle aches.

A yellow tint to the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice)
Bad breath
A bitter taste in the mouth
Dark, tea colored urine
Light, clay colored stools
Pain or tenderness in the area of the liver (the upper-right side of the abdomen near the lower-front ribs)

Diagnosis of Hepatitis
Your doctor will ask about your history of alcohol use, exposure to toxic chemicals, use of medications that can cause liver damage, history of unprotected sex, history of intravenous drug use, a recent meal of shellfish from potentially polluted waters, travel to a country where hepatitis infections are common, or exposure to someone known to have hepatitis. Your doctor will examine you to look for a yellowish tint in your skin and the whites of your eyes, and to check for tenderness and swelling near your liver.
