Although some of the symptoms of hepatitis are similar to those of liver fire, liver fire belongs to the concept of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and hepatitis belongs to the concept of Western medicine, and they are not equivalent. Liver fire belongs to the concept of traditional Chinese medicine, mostly due to liver loss of drainage (abnormal function of liver drainage) or liver depression and stagnation of qi (poor transport of qi and blood in the liver, emotional depression), qi depression and fire, as well as liver heat, which can be manifested as dry mouth, bitter taste in the mouth, bad breath, loss of appetite, irritability and so on, in Western medicine, although it can be corresponded with gastritis, cholecystitis, hepatitis and other diseases, but the concept is not the same. Hepatitis belongs to the concept of Western medicine, is due to excessive alcohol abuse, infection of viruses, etc. Although the symptoms are similar to the symptoms of liver fire, but the two can not be completely equivalent to each other, belonging to two different concepts, so it is inaccurate to say that the liver fire is hepatitis. Therefore, it is inaccurate to say that liver fire is hepatitis. It is recommended that people with liver fire or hepatitis should consult a doctor in time and be diagnosed by a professional doctor.
