Viral Hepatitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The gastroenterologist and the infectious disease specialist are the doctors who usually evaluate liver conditions of infectious origin, with support from the pediatrician in minors. Viral hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver caused by various viruses, which can appear acutely or persist over time.
Common symptoms:
- Fatigue and general malaise.
- Yellowing of the skin and eyes.
- Abdominal discomfort, nausea, and dark urine.
When to see a doctor? It is advisable to seek an evaluation when there is yellowing of the skin, marked fatigue, or digestive discomfort that does not subside. Identifying the type of virus and reviewing the case individually with a professional is the most prudent way to guide care.
