Condition Overview:
Chronic hepatitis is inflammation of the liver
that lasts at least 6 months.
Chronic hepatitis, though much less common than acute hepatitis, can persist
for years, even decades. In most people, it is quite mild and does not cause
significant liver damage. In some people, though, continued inflammation slowly
damages the liver, eventually producing cirrhosis (severe scarring of the
liver), liver failure, and sometimes liver cancer.About one third of people with
chronic hepatitis develop it after a bout of acute viral hepatitis. The
remaining two thirds of people develop the disease gradually without any obvious
symptoms, although most cases of chronic hepatitis are still caused by one of
the hepatitis viruses.
Hepatitis C virus is the most common cause of chronic hepatitis; at least 75% of
acute hepatitis C cases become chronic. Hepatitis B virus, sometimes together
with hepatitis D virus, causes a smaller percentage of chronic infections.
Hepatitis A and E viruses do not cause chronic hepatitis.Drugs such as
methyldopa can cause chronic hepatitis, particularly when they are taken for
prolonged periods. Wilson's disease, a rare hereditary disease involving
abnormal retention of copper in the liver (see Wilson's Disease: When Copper
Accumulates), may cause chronic hepatitis in children and young adults.
No one knows exactly why a particular virus or drug causes chronic hepatitis in
some people but not in others, or why the degree of severity varies. In many
people with chronic hepatitis, no obvious cause can be found. In some of these
people, there appears to be an overactive immune system response that is
responsible for the chronic inflammation. This response may occur because the
body is attacking its own tissues (an autoimmune reaction (see Autoimmune
Disorders),
although this has not been proven. This disease, called autoimmune hepatitis,
is more common among women than men.
