Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, typically caused by a viral infection. If the liver is inflamed, enlarged and tender, it becomes unable to function normally. Toxins that would normally be filtered out by the liver build up in the body and nutrients not processed or properly stored. Symptoms such as fever, nausea, vomiting, headache, muscle aches, joint pains, appetite loss, abdominal discomfort can result. Each of these liver conditions requires specific nutritional management under the guidance of a registered dietician, clinical nutritionist or medical specialist.
