Understanding Hepatitis & Liver Infection

  13-March-2026

Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. It can occur due to viral infection, alcohol, unhealthy lifestyle, or certain medicines. The liver is one of the most important organs in the body, and liver infections should never be ignored.

At Relief Gastro Care & Endoscopy Clinic, Dr. Sandeep Patil provides complete liver care with proper diagnosis and long-term monitoring.

Types of Hepatitis

Common types include:

  • Hepatitis A & E – Usually spread through contaminated food or water
  • Hepatitis B & C – Spread through infected blood or body fluids

Common Symptoms

  • Jaundice (yellow eyes and skin)
  • Weakness and fatigue
  • Vomiting
  • Loss of appetite
  • Fever
  • Abdominal discomfort
  • Dark urine

Diagnosis & Treatment

Dr. Sandeep Patil may recommend:

  • Blood tests and liver evaluation
  • Ultrasound or FibroScan

Early diagnosis is very important because untreated hepatitis can lead to liver damage, cirrhosis, or liver failure.
