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.

肝炎（Hepatitis）是描述肝臟發炎的現象。有些人沒有症狀，有些人則有黄疸、食慾不振、呕吐、疲倦、腹痛，或腹瀉的現象。肝炎可依病期長短分成兩期，六個月以下稱為急性，反之則稱為慢性。急性肝炎可能會，也可能發展為慢性肝炎。在某些情形下甚至會導致。病程過久會演變為肝硬化、肝衰竭，或肝癌。 目前全球最常見的肝炎病因為病毒性肝炎，其他可能的致病因素還有酗酒（可导致酒精性肝炎）、服用特定藥物、毒素、其他感染、自體免疫性疾病，以及非酒精性脂肪肝。病毒性肝炎分六型：甲型肝炎、乙型肝炎、丙型肝炎、丁型肝炎、戊型肝炎以及庚型肝炎。A型肝炎及E型肝炎通常藉由食物及水傳染，B型肝炎則主要由性行為傳染，但也可能是母親在妊娠或分娩的過程中，。B型肝炎、C型肝炎和庚型肝炎可以經血液傳染，常見途徑包含。D型肝炎只能感染已經感染B型肝炎的患者。 A型肝炎、B型肝炎及D型肝炎可藉由。藥物可以用於治療慢性肝炎。目前仍沒有治療非酒精性脂肪肝的方法，但可以藉由運動、均衡飲食，以及減肥等調整生活型態方式來維持健康。可以藉由免疫抑制藥物治療。當病情到一定程度時，則可以考慮。 2015年，全球罹患A型肝炎者約有1.14億人，慢性B型肝炎約3.43億人，慢性C型肝炎則約1.42億人。在美國，罹患非酒精性脂肪肝約有1100萬人，而酒精性肝炎患者則約有500萬人。全球每年死於肝炎者逾100萬人，大多死於肝硬化或肝炎的併發症。在美國，每年有2500人感染A型肝炎，約有75人會因此死亡。肝炎的英文「Hepatitis」源自於古希臘語，「hêpar」（ἧπαρ）代表「肝臟」，「 -itis」（-ῖτις）代表「發炎」。
