Abstract

The many viruses that cause the most prevalent forms of viral hepatitis. Other types of hepatitis, including viral hepatitis, can be brought on by things like alcoholism, drug toxicity, autoimmune diseases, or metabolic abnormalities. Depending on the underlying etiology, the specific pathophysiology of these non-viral kinds of hepatitis can change. The hepatitis A virus (HAV) is spread by tainted food and water. A person can contract the hepatitis B virus (HBV) by encountering infected blood or other bodily fluids. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) spreads via sharing needles or other drug paraphernalia or by direct contact with blood that has been infected. It is significant to remember that there are additional, less typical causes of hepatitis. It is recommended to speak with a healthcare provider for a precise diagnosis and the best course of action about the condition of liver.
