Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver caused by viral infection, alcohol use, autoimmune disease, or other factors. Each type—A, B, C, D, and E—spreads differently, progresses at different rates, and requires different management. Understanding which type you're dealing with, how it's transmitted, and what happens to your liver matters for your own health decisions and for protecting people around you.

These articles explain how hepatitis spreads, what symptoms to watch for, what testing involves, and how treatment and monitoring work. You'll find information about living with chronic hepatitis, managing flare-ups, what lifestyle changes help, and how to talk with your doctor about your specific situation.
