AI overview
Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver tissue that can range from causing no symptoms at all to causing jaundice, poor appetite, vomiting, tiredness, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. It matters because acute hepatitis can sometimes progress to chronic hepatitis or serious complications like liver failure, and chronic hepatitis can eventually lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer.
