PATHOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:
An inflammatory disease of the liver caused by viral or bacterial infections or a variety of toxic agents characterized by jaundice, fever, or enlargement of the liver often resulting in fatty degeneration and cirrhosis of the liver.

PHYSIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Damage to the liver with fatty degeneration and scar formation may cause accumulation of ammonia in the blood which comes from the breakdown of body proteins and is accelerated by stress.

TREATMENT:
The diet for hepatitis must be designed to build resistance rapidly and destroy any toxic substances to prevent development of jaundice and formation of ammonia. Normally these patients utilize protein well but at times a high protein diet cannot be given because toxic quantities of ammonia may accumulate. However, ammonia formation form undigested protein in the bowel may be prevented by use of acidophilus milk or yogurt with digestive enzymes. The vitamin B-complex is also essential in preventing putrefaction and ammonia formation, especially vitamin B-6 and choline. If high fat diets are given, fatty liver may develop if the diet is deficient in choline. Large amounts of vitamin C may produce dramatic recovery in many cases.
