Discussion on Hepatitis 

Hepatitis is a disease that is mainly involved in the inflammation of the tissues that are infected and can damage the liver. The liver is inflamed and it is not able to fight infections or provide nutrients to the blood. Hepatitis is involved in the short term and long term infections. Viral hepatitis is mostly infected by the DNA virus. It mainly refers to inflammatory infection of the liver and Autoimmune Hepatitis is a disease that is mainly involved in the antigen production against the liver. Different types of Hepatitis occurred. 

All of them Hepatitis A exposure through foods and waters. Hepatitis B is connected with the body fluids such as blood and other secretions. Another type of Hepatitis can be connected to the blood that contains HDV. Hepatitis disease can be spread by alcohol and other toxins. Commonly seen symptoms of this disease are fatigue, pale stool, dark urine and inflammation. HBV mainly uses reverse transcriptase for their replication and causing this disease. Steatohepatitis is the excess triglycerides and HCV promotes cellular lipotoxicity and approximately 40-80% pathogenesis occurred that is associated with the risk of HCC.

Types of Hepatitis 

Hepatitis is divided into many types that are Hepatitis A, B, C, D; E. Hepatitis A is an infection that is infected by the Hepatitis A virus. This type of hepatitis mainly causes acute and short term diseases. Hepatitis B virus causes Hepatitis B that is caused by chronic conditions.

On the other hand, Hepatitis D is a rare type of hepatitis that can occur in this type of infection. Hepatitis E mainly spreads through the poor sanitation area that is mainly involved in the ingestion of faecal matter.

These all types of hepatitis are mainly exposed to foods, water, body fluid, and also exposed to the Hepatitis E Virus, Hepatocellular Carcinoma, and Hepatitis C Virus. Hepatitis A, B, C are caused by a particular type of Hepatitis virus is DNA virus. Hepatitis A can spread through contaminated foods and water and hepatitis B and C spread through the body fluids of the patients.

HCV also affects the stomach that hinders the fluids secretion of the stomach that also impacts the digestive system. This disease has many symptoms that are weight loss, nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite. HCV also affects the central nervous system that creates difficulties in brain function. On the other hand, it can hinder the circulatory system as well as the integumentary system. They can affect the blood flow rate and create hypertension and also poorly function in the liver. HCV can have effects on the stomach and central nervous system. It can cause mainly chronic types of hepatitis and due to the chronic stage sometimes death also occurs.

 Conclusion

According to hepatitis disease, it is concluded that this disease is a viral infection. Hepatitis mainly causes inflammation of the liver and can damage the liver. This disease also affects the blood flow rate as well as the central nervous system. It also concluded that HCV caused chronic hepatitis disease that may have effects on the circulatory system as well as damage the stomach fluid secretion system. On the other hand, it also concluded that HCC and HCV can cause more acute disease and spread through the body fluids that are associated with HCV. It also concluded that hepatitis can have effects on the immune system and effects on hormonal imbalance. Based on this study, it also concluded that all of the HCV is more chronic levels of hepatitis that affects the liver. On the other hand, it also concluded that hepatitis disease mainly caused two different stages that are acute and chronic. HCV causes chronic hepatitis and effects on the liver. According to this study, it also evaluated that hepatitis is a viral infection that mainly infects the liver and causes death.
