Overview
Causes
Common Causes
- Acute hepatitis
- Viral Hepatitis: Hepatitis A to E (more than 95% of viral cause), Herpes simplex, Cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr, yellow fever virus, adenoviruses.
- Non viral infection: toxoplasma, Leptospira, Q fever,[1] rocky mountain spotted fever[2]
- Alcohol
- Toxins: Amanita toxin in mushrooms, carbon tetrachloride, asafetida
- Drugs: Paracetamol, amoxycillin, antituberculosis medicines, minocycline and many others (see longer list below).
- Ischemic hepatitis (circulatory insufficiency)
- Pregnancy
- Auto immune conditions, e.g. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
- Metabolic diseases, e.g. Wilson's disease
- Chronic hepatitis
- Viral hepatitis: Hepatitis B with or without hepatitis D, hepatitis C (Hepatitis A and E do not lead to chronic disease)
- Autoimmune: Autoimmune hepatitis
- Alcohol
- Drugs: methyl-dopa, nitrofurantoin, isoniazide, ketoconazole
- Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
- Heredity: Wilson's disease, alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency
- Primary biliary cirrhosis and primary sclerosing cholangitis occasionally mimic chronic hepatitis
