World Hepatitis Day 2025: Today is World Hepatitis Day. Hepatitis is a disease that causes inflammation of the liver. This inflammatory liver disease can lead to serious complications, including scarring of the liver, cirrhosis, and cancer. If left untreated, hepatitis can lead to chronic liver damage. So in this world Hepatitis day 2025, let’s take a look at 6 early symptoms of hepatitis that you shouldn’t ignore
Extreme fatigue
Persistent fatigue is said to be the first symptom. Regardless of the type of hepatitis (A, B, or C), fatigue can be caused by the body’s response to the infection and the liver’s dysfunction.
Loss of appetite and nausea
Loss of appetite along with nausea are also symptoms of hepatitis. Hepatitis B is a common viral infection that damages the liver. It is spread through contact with infected people.
Mild abdominal pain
You may experience abdominal pain or pain in the upper abdomen. Do not ignore it if it is persistent.
Change in urine color
If the liver is not functioning well, the production and removal of bile is disrupted. Then, the color of the urine may change. These are symptoms of hepatitis.
Yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice)
Jaundice can go unnoticed in the early stages and then become milder. If you notice a yellowing of the skin or eyes, see your doctor right away.
Joint pain
Early stages of hepatitis may cause joint pain, mild fever, and body aches. Most people ignore it, thinking it’s just a common cold.
