• The viral hepatitis is an infectious disease caused by the hepatitis virus. The most common are hepatitis A (HAV), hepatitis B (HBV) and hepatitis C (HCV). 
• Viruses that cause hepatitis can enter the body through the digestive system (HAV), through contact with infected blood, through medical manipulation, or through sexual contact (HBV, HCV). Vertical transmission (from an infected pregnant fetus) is possible.

1. Hepatitis A

The cause of hepatitis A is the hepatitis A virus (HAV). This virus is usually transmitted through food or drinking water contaminated with the feces of people with hepatitis A who contain the hepatitis A virus.

Most people who get hepatitis A make a full recovery within two weeks to six months. This virus also does not leave liver damage, but in rare cases hepatitis A can cause liver failure to death.

2. Hepatitis B

The cause of hepatitis B is the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Hepatitis B can be transmitted through body fluids infected with the hepatitis B virus.

Body fluids that can potentially transmit the hepatitis B virus are blood, vaginal fluid, and semen. Using shared needles, having sex with an infected partner, can trigger the risk of hepatitis B.

Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C is spread through direct contact with body fluids infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Almost the same as hepatitis B, the cause of hepatitis B is injection drug use and sexual interference.

Hepatitis C often has no symptoms, but chronic infection can damage the day until cirrhosis. In some cases, people who suffer from cirrhosis also suffer from liver failure, liver cancer, etc. until their death.

4. Hepatitis D

Hepatitis D is also often called delta hepatitis. As with other hepatitis, the cause of hepatitis D is a virus which is the hepatitis D virus (HDV).

The hepatitis D virus can be infected through direct contact with infected blood. Hepatitis D is a rare hepatitis that only occurs in conjunction with hepatitis B. The hepatitis D virus cannot multiply without the presence of hepatitis B.

5. Hepatitis E

Hepatitis E is caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV). Hepatitis E can easily occur in an environment that is not well sanitized, due to contamination of the hepatitis E virus in water sources.

6. Other causes

In addition to viruses, other causes of hepatitis are due to liver damage caused by chemical compounds such as alcohol, drug use in excess of doses, exposure to poisons. Additionally, hepatitis can also occur due to autoimmune conditions in the body. The body's immune system attacks and damages the body's own cells and tissues, in this case the liver cells, causing inflammation.
