Hepatic jaundice is caused by abnormal liver metabolism of bilirubin. [26] The major causes of hepatic jaundice are significant damage to hepatocytes due to infectious, drug/medication-induced, autoimmune etiology, or less commonly, due to inheritable genetic diseases. [27] The following is a partial list of hepatic causes to jaundice: [28]
The GB virus C is a virus that is probably spread by blood and sexual contact. [18] It was initially identified as Hepatitis G virus. [19] There is very little evidence that this virus causes hepatitis, as it does not appear to replicate primarily in the liver. [20] It is now classified as GB virus C. [21]
Hepatitis A and E are mainly spread by contaminated food and water. [3] Hepatitis B is mainly sexually transmitted, but may also be passed from mother to baby during pregnancy or childbirth and spread through infected blood. [3] Hepatitis C is commonly spread through infected blood such as may occur during needle sharing by intravenous drug ...
Hepatitis, commonly virus- or alcohol-induced, causes internal liver inflammation and disrupts conjugated bilirubin transport. [6] Among primary hepatotropic viruses, Hepatitis A presents acute onset of jaundice, usually after the first 2–3 days upon entering the icteric phase while chronic Hepatitis B and C manifest jaundice gradually. [21]
HAV can also be spread through sexual contact, specifically oro–anal and digital–rectal sexual acts. [3] Humans are the only natural reservoir and disease vector of the HAV virus; no known insect or other animal vectors can transmit the virus. A chronic HAV state has not been reported. [42] About 40% of all acute viral hepatitis is caused ...
It is a hemorrhagic fever virus from the same family as the virus that causes Ebola. The virus can be transmitted by exposure to mines or caves inhabited by Rousettus bat colonies, which carry the ...
