This section provides a short and straight-to-the-point overview of acute hepatitis. Acute hepatitis is defined as an acute inflammation of the hepatocytes resulting in deranged liver functions and hepatocyte injury. It can be due to infective or non-infective causes. The most common infective causes included hepatitis viruses (including Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E). The non-infective causes include medications, alcohol, and autoimmune hepatitis. The treatment is mainly supportive. Regular monitoring should be done to look for adequate resolution of infection, signs of hepatic failure, encephalopathy, or chronic disease.
