Hepatitis is becoming a great problem for the medical world due to its variable etiology and clinical presentations. It is creating dangerous life threatening conditions and becoming a burden on the society. It may be a silent killer or continue as a benign disease leading to cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and hepatorenal syndrome etc., if it is not treated properly. Acute viral infection is the most common cause of all forms of hepatitis.
