CHRONIC VCHRONIC VIRALIRAL HEPATITISHEPATITIS
Hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus are the major causes of chronic hepatitis in the world.
Approximately 80% of individuals infected with HCV will become chronic carriers, of whom a majority will develop a degree of liver damage ranging from fatty liver to cirrhosis.
Chronic HBV and HCV infection predispose patients to developing hepatocellular carcinoma.

AUTOIMMUNE HEPATITIS Autoimmune hepatitis is four times more common in
women than in men, and is most aggressive when it presents in the third
and fourth decades. AIH can be associated with other autoimmune
diseases. Important differential diagnoses include viral
hepatitis, Wilson's disease and drug reactions. There is a rise in IgG, a positive anti-smooth-muscle
antibody present in 60%, and antinuclear antibody and liver-kidney microsomal antibody (LKM-1) may be present.
Long-term immunosuppression is required with corticosteroids and often azathioprine. Response rate to therapy (corticosteroids) is 80-90%.
AUTOIMMUNE HEPATITIS
Patients with severe disease who are treated with corticosteroids have a 10-year survival rate of 60% to 70%,
whereas untreated patients have a survival rate of less than 30%.

FATTY LIVER Fat droplets appear in the
cytoplasm of hepatocytes; they may appear a few days
after an alcohol binge, but are almost always present in heavy drinkers (> 80 g of alcohol per day for > 5 years).
Fatty liver may occur, however, with obesity, diabetes mellitus, starvation and chronic hepatitis C virus infection

ALCOHOLIC HALCOHOLIC HEPATITISEPATITIS
Alcohol abuse is a massive international problem which has huge resource implications both for the community as a whole and also for health care.
Alcohol is enjoyed by many and used safely by the majority of people who drink it.
Alcohol abuse may be denied or not recognized by individuals or their families and friends.
Alcohol damages not only the liver, but many other organs also.
