Computed tomography of the liver was performed on two patients with subacute hepatitis. The CT findings included the presence of multiple regenerative nodules in the atrophied liver, shown by decreased CT attenuation. Complications due to hepatitis, such as massive ascites and splenomegaly, were also observed. The CT observations during the course of the disease suggested that the hepatic necrosis had been repaired by hypertrophy of regenerating nodules, not by an increase in the number of nodules, which ultimately gave rise to postnecrotic cirrhosis. Scintigraphy confirmed atrophy and repair of the liver. Thus, CT and scintigraphy were considered to be useful for the diagnosis of extensive hepatic necrosis and for evaluating the process of liver repair.

D006509 Hepatitis B INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by a member of the ORTHOHEPADNAVIRUS genus, HEPATITIS B VIRUS. It is primarily transmitted by parenteral exposure, such as transfusion of contaminated blood or blood products, but can also be transmitted via sexual or intimate personal contact. Hepatitis B Virus Infection
D006521 Hepatitis, Chronic INFLAMMATION of the LIVER with ongoing hepatocellular injury for 6 months or more, characterized by NECROSIS of HEPATOCYTES and inflammatory cell (LEUKOCYTES) infiltration. Chronic hepatitis can be caused by viruses, medications, autoimmune diseases, and other unknown factors.

D006525 Hepatitis, Viral, Human INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans due to infection by VIRUSES. There are several significant types of human viral hepatitis with infection caused by enteric-transmission (HEPATITIS A; HEPATITIS E) or blood transfusion (HEPATITIS B; HEPATITIS C; and HEPATITIS D).

D006526 Hepatitis C INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by HEPATITIS C VIRUS, a single-stranded RNA virus. Its incubation period is 30-90 days. Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily by contaminated blood parenterally and is often associated with transfusion and intravenous drug abuse. However, in a significant number of cases, the source of hepatitis C infection is unknown.
