Clinical Significance 

Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. The liver is a vital organ that processes nutriments, filters the blood, and fights infections. When the liver is inflamed or damaged, its function can be affected. Heavy alcohol use, toxins, some medications, and certain medical conditions can cause hepatitis. However, hepatitis is often caused by a virus. The most common types of viral hepatitis in the United States are hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. A different virus is responsible for each type of viral hepatitis.
