A submicroscopic infectious agent that replicates only within the living cells of an organism is referred to as a virus. Viral hepatitis is an infection caused by the hepatitis virus, leading to liver inflammation and damage. Hepatitis viruses include a range of unrelated human pathogens such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D, and hepatitis E viruses. Some of the symptoms of hepatitis are fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, light-colored stools, joint pain and jaundice. It can be diagnosed through a physical exam, liver function tests, ultrasound and liver biopsy. Hepatitis C can be treated by antiviral medications and antiviral drug therapies. Hepatitis A and B do not require specific treatment and hepatitis D and E do not have treatment available. They can only be prevented by hygiene and vaccination. This book elucidates the concepts and therapies in relation to hepatitis virus and liver disease. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies, and advanced studies on these topics have been included in it. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
