Hepatitis A can turn severe in patients with fatty liver, warn doctors

What Happened

Doctors warn that Hepatitis A, typically mild, can trigger acute liver failure in patients with underlying conditions like fatty liver and cirrhosis. With nearly one-third of Indian adults having fatty liver disease, the risk remains significant. Hepatitis A transmits through contaminated food, water, or poor hygiene, causing fever, fatigue, jaundice, and abdominal pain in patients.
