Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)
Hepatitis is defined as inflammation of the liver caused by a variety of factors. There are two types of hepatitis: acute and chronic. Depending on the type, hepatitis can be cause by these factors: viruses, alcohol, toxins, drugs, pregnancy, autoimmune conditions, metabolic diseases, heredity and other cirrhosing conditions. One can suspect that acute hepatitis is present when there are malaise, muscle and joint aches, fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and headaches, dark urine, yellowing of the eyes and skin and abdominal discomfort. Chronic hepatitis sufferers are usually asymptomatic but there are enlarged livers and spleens, low-grade fever and ascites. Hepatitis comes in many forms: hepatitis A, B, C, E, F, G.
