A member asked:
Can you have liver inflammation without it being hepatitis, or are live inflammation and hepatitis exactly the same thing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Same thing: Hepatitis, by definition is inflammation of the liver. Liver inflammation can be due to alcohol, drugs, auto-immunity and infections, especially with hepatitis b and c viruses.
