Eating less is not the same as having hepatitis

  Many patients who have lost weight are more or less worried because of the sudden reduction in diet. Some people will say that eating less will lead to hepatitis because people with hepatitis will eat less, but the opposite is not true. You can’t get hepatitis by deliberately controlling your diet.    Let’s look at the different causes of hepatitis, can be divided into the following categories: 1, viral hepatitis: including the most common hepatitis B, in addition, there are hepatitis A, hepatitis C, hepatitis D, hepatitis E, hepatitis G, etc.; 2, autoimmune hepatitis: is a relatively common in the past, now relatively rare chronic autoimmune disease of the liver; 3, alcoholic hepatitis: ethanol is an important cause of hepatitis. Generally alcoholism will lead to alcoholic hepatitis after a long time; 4, drug hepatitis: many drugs can cause liver function damage and lead to hepatitis.  5, hepatitis caused by other poisons: such as mushrooms containing poisonous umbrella toxin, yellow phosphorus, excessive acetaminophen, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, acetylated trichloroethylene and all other organochlorines can cause hepatitis; 6, hepatitis caused by metabolic diseases: some metabolic diseases can also cause different forms of hepatitis. Hemochromatosis and Wilson’s disease can lead to liver inflammation and cell necrosis; 7. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis: The anatomical image of the liver in non-alcoholic steatohepatitis is very similar to that of alcoholic hepatitis (fat droplets, inflamed cells), but these patients certainly have no history of alcohol abuse. Due to obesity or metabolic disease women are more likely to develop non-alcoholic steatohepatitis than men.  So it is not scientific to say that you are prone to hepatitis if you eat less!
