What is Hepatitis?
Hepatitis refers to inflammation of the liver caused by viruses (like hepatitis B and C), autoimmune reactions, or other factors such as alcohol or medications. In India, viral hepatitis- especially hepatitis B and C is a significant health concern. Early detection and specialized care from an experienced hepatologist can prevent long-term damage and improve outcomes. With appropriate treatment, many individuals with hepatitis can achieve viral suppression, remission, or durable control.

Causes & Risk Factors
Hepatitis stems from a range of causes from viral infections to immune reactions and lifestyle-related insults.
Viral infections (HBV and HCV)
Hepatitis B and C causes chronic inflammation that may progress to cirrhosis or cancer
Alcohol‑related liver damage
Long-term excessive alcohol consumption can inflame and scar the liver.
Autoimmune hepatitis
Immune system mistakenly attacks liver cells, leading to inflammation and tissue damage.
Toxin‑related injury
Some medications or supplements can harm the liver and trigger hepatitis-like damage
Managing Hepatitis Effectively
Treatment varies based on hepatitis type and disease stage, focusing on controlling inflammation, supporting liver repair, and preventing progression.
Antiviral therapy for Viral Hepatitis
Medications such as entecavir, tenofovir (for HBV) or direct-acting antivirals for hepatitis C help to eliminate or suppress the virus and reduce liver inflammation.
Immunosuppressive therapy for Autoimmune Hepatitis
Steroids (e.g. prednisolone) and immunomodulators (like azathioprine) calm the immune attack on the liver and promote remission.
Supportive Care and Lifestyle Changes
Nutritional support, abstaining from alcohol, and carefully monitoring medications help the liver restore function and reduce ongoing damage.
Liver Transplant and Advanced Care
In cases of severe liver failure or cirrhosis, transplantation may be recommended. Dr. Kalal’s expertise includes transplant evaluation and patient guidance.
