When the liver is inflamed or damaged, its function can be affected. Heavy alcohol use, toxins, some medications, and certain medical conditions can cause hepatitis. However, hepatitis is often caused by a virus. In the United States, the most common types of viral hepatitis are hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Topics include liver RNA structure and function, gene editing, single-cell and single-molecule genomic analyses, the molecular biology of hepatitis, drug interactions and engineered drug design, and liver disease .
NATAP: Hepatitis Recogizing that coinfection with viral hepatitis among people with HIV is a growing problem, the National AIDS Treatment Advocacy Project (NATAP) developed an extensive amount of information on hepatitis, both in the context of HIV coinfection . Hepatitis B and hepatitis C are contagious liver diseases caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and the hepatitis C virus (HCV), respectively. HBV is a nanometer, partially double-stranded DNA virus classified in the Hepadnaviridae family; there are eight major HBV File Size: 1MB.
Hepatitis, or inflammation of the liver, has many causes, including several viruses, a host of chemicals and drugs, bacteria, diseases of the immune system, inherited factors, and herbs. For most of the population "hepatitis" refers to a disease caused by viruses, and viral hepatitis is the major concern of this book.2/5(1).

Any illness that affects the liver over a long period of time may lead to fibrosis and, eventually, cirrhosis. Heavy drinking and viruses (like hepatitis C or hepatitis B) are common causes of cirrhosis.
However, there are other causes as well. A buildup of fat in the liver, called fatty liver disease. The result is a comprehensive account on all aspects of viral hepatitis, including rapid advances in the diagnosis, management, treatment and prevention of a complex infection, which in the case of hepatitis B, C and D may lead to severe complications including chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Viral hepatitis is an acute and chronic necroinflammatory process of the liver that can be subdivided into infection by either one of the hepatotropic viruses or by a system virus affecting the liver.
Inan estimated million persons (95 percent uncertainty interval million to million) died from viral hepatitis; this estimate includes deaths due to acute hepatitis, as well as hepatitis-related liver cancer and cirrhosis (Stanaway and others ).
Furthermore, while deaths from infectious diseases. Even though affordable, safe, and effective treatments can prevent liver disease and liver cancer among people living with hepatitis B and cure those living with hepatitis C, WHO estimated that only 10% of people with hepatitis B and 20% of people with hepatitis.

Also, alcohol, carbon tetrachloride, some tranquilizers and antibiotics, and many other substances can produce a toxic reaction in the liver, resulting in toxic hepatitis.

Viral hepatitis is an infection that causes liver inflammation and damage. Inflammation is swelling that occurs when tissues of the body become injured or infected.
Inflammation can damage organs. Researchers have discovered several different viruses. Hepatitis A and hepatitis. An estimated – million people in the United States live with chronic viral hepatitis (Institute of Medicine [IOM], ). Viral hepatitis is often a silent disease whose symptoms and signs become evident only after the disease has caused severe liver damage.
The symptoms of hepatitis can take decades to manifest, so many people who are infected with hepatitis. There has been an explosion of both the incidence and medical knowledge of viral hepatitis over the last two decades.
Not only is the incidence of infection and disease increasing, but new hepatitis viruses have been discovered, as well as the launch of new pharmaceutical products.
