Viral hepatitis is a group of viral infections of the liver caused by hepatitis viruses A, B, C, D, and E. Each type affects the liver differently, ranging from short-term illness to lifelong disease.
At Leaders in Liver Health, our Consultant Hepatologists specialise in diagnosing and treating all forms of viral hepatitis. We provide advanced testing, including FibroScan® and viral load testing and monitoring.
Whether you need expert hepatitis B management or hepatitis C treatment in London and the UK, our team delivers clear, evidence-based care tailored to you.
Viral hepatitis refers to the infection of the liver caused by one of five viruses — A, B, C, D, or E. These viruses differ in how they spread, how long they last, and how they affect your liver health.
Early testing and treatment reduce complications and protect long-term liver health.
Viral hepatitis often causes few or no symptoms in the early stages. Many people don’t realise they live with viral hepatitis until routine tests reveal abnormal liver results. Common signs include:

Each type is transmitted differently. A and E spread through contaminated food or water; B, C, and D through infected blood or body fluids. Hepatitis A and E are usually short-term, while hepatitis B, C, and D can become chronic, especially when acquired early in life.
Yes. Hepatitis A and E resolve naturally and usually recovery is full. Hepatitis C is curable with tablets. Hepatitis B and D are controlled long-term with antiviral medications.
Yes. Viral hepatitis can be transmitted from person to person. Vaccination can reduce risk.
Hepatitis C treatment lasts 8–12 weeks. Hepatitis B and D management is ongoing and often lifelong. Hepatitis A and E recover within weeks without need for treatment in most cases.
Chronic hepatitis B and D require regular long-term or lifelong monitoring to protect liver health and prevent complications. Hepatitis C can be cured – it might require long-term follow-up in some individuals who remain at risk of developing liver cancer despite successful treatment.
Yes. Vaccines are available for hepatitis A and B, and protecting against hepatitis B also protects against hepatitis D.
If you have been diagnosed with or exposed to viral hepatitis, early treatment protects your liver and prevents complications.
