What are the symptoms of viral hepatitis?
The symptoms of viral hepatitis mainly manifest as symptoms of liver function impairment. Patients may experience fatigue, poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, discomfort in the upper abdomen, yellowing of the eyes, and dark urine, among other discomforts. Some patients may initially think it is stomach discomfort and thus visit the gastroenterology department, only later to find out through liver function tests that it is viral hepatitis. In addition to these symptoms, viral hepatitis can present other symptoms. For example, in cases of chronic viral hepatitis, such as hepatitis B and C, patients may exhibit features like chronic liver disease facies, spider angiomas, and palmar erythema. If these symptoms appear, it is essential to visit a hospital promptly to determine the extent of liver function damage and identify the specific cause of the liver damage. Only by identifying the cause can the treatment be effectively administered.
