👉 The term "hepatite" refers to a type of liver disease characterized by inflammation and scarring of the liver cells. It is often caused by an infection, but can also be caused by other factors such as viral infections or autoimmune diseases. The symptoms of hepatitis include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), and fatigue. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to clear the infection and may involve liver transplant if necessary.
