Firstly, the main thing is viral hepatitis, everyone knows A, B, C, D, there are a lot of toxic hepatitis, our Murmansk region is characterized by a high level of alcohol drinking, hence the development of alcoholic liver disease,” noted Zhanna, head of the gastroenterology department of the Murmansk Regional Hospital Tersinsky.

Not only alcohol and viruses, but also a number of autoimmune diseases and fatty liver disease are associated with inflammation. The development of hepatitis can also be caused by taking medications, their incorrect combination, or using dietary supplements.

“Many people take dietary supplements, this is also a “stop”, people, you can’t take too many dietary supplements, this can lead to drug-induced liver damage, including triggering various autoimmune mechanisms,” added Zhanna Tersinskikh.
