Hepatitis treatment in San Francisco del Rincon

Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver, a key organ in digestion and in cleansing the body. It can have different origins and can appear acutely or persist over time.

Common causes: viral infections, use of certain substances, immune system disorders, or accumulation of fat in the liver.

Common symptoms: fatigue, yellowing of the skin and eyes, abdominal discomfort, dark urine, and loss of appetite; in some cases it occurs without obvious symptoms.

Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist and the hepatologist evaluate liver function, and the infectious disease specialist takes part when the cause is infectious. When symptoms persist, an evaluation helps identify the cause.
