Which hepatitis?: "hepatitis" is a generic term that means your liver is inflamed. This can be caused by infection with viruses (like a, b, c, d, e, etc, cmv, ebv), parasites, bacteria. Non-infectious causes include: alcohol, toxin exposure, occupational risk, drugs (like tylenol (acetaminophen) overdose), familial liver diseases, ischemic damage, heart problems, infiltrative pathology, trauma, etc. Weight gain can be good or bad here.
