Acute hepatitis

Acute hepatitis refers to the sudden inflammation of the liver, often caused by viral infections, excessive alcohol consumption, or toxins. Common symptoms include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes), dark urine, and abdominal pain. The condition typically develops quickly over days or weeks and can be severe but is often reversible with proper care. In many cases, the liver can heal on its own within months. However, it’s important to seek medical attention, as some cases can lead to serious complications or chronic liver disease if not addressed promptly.
