Viral hepatitis

Viral hepatitis is liver inflammation caused by a viral infection, which may present as either an acute condition with symptoms like fever, vomiting, loss of appetite, nausea, jaundice, and upper right abdominal pain, or as a chronic condition that can progress to severe liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Acute viral hepatitis typically lasts up to a few weeks, while chronic hepatitis develops over a longer period, often starting asymptomatically.
