Understanding Perihepatitis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Options
Perihepatitis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the tissues around the liver, particularly the hepatic capsule and the bile ducts. It can be caused by various factors, such as viral infections, alcohol abuse, and autoimmune disorders.
Perihepatitis can cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, fever, jaundice, and fatigue. If left untreated, it can lead to complications such as abscesses, liver failure, and cancer.
Treatment of perihepatitis depends on the underlying cause, but may include antiviral medications, antibiotics, and surgery to drain abscesses or remove damaged tissue. In severe cases, a liver transplant may be necessary.
