Acute Hepatitis

---

Acute hepatitis is a nonspecific term that refers to an acute inflammation of the liver resulting from a wide range of etiologies.
Even though the presentation may be acute, it does not always result from an acute disease process. Many of the etiologies may
have a long-standing silent disease process preceding the acute presentation. The clinical presentation can be overlapping and
therefore, finding the etiology of acute hepatitis can be a diagnostic challenge. Depending on the etiology, acute hepatitis may show a self-limiting course; or recovery in response to treatment or withdrawal of offending agent. It may also result in a fulminant course leading to an acute liver failure (ALF).
