Treatment OptionsWhat is Hepatitis?
Hepatitis refers to inflammation or swelling of the liver, which leads to injury or loss of liver cells (hepatocytes).
It can occur as a short-term condition (acute hepatitis) or develop into a long-term disease (chronic hepatitis), depending on the cause and duration.
Early diagnosis and proper treatment are essential to prevent complications such as liver failure or cirrhosis.
