Patient's question:
Is cholecystitis contagious?Doctor's answer:
Jaundice hepatitis has multiple causes, such as viral hepatitis, which may include different types like hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Additionally, alcoholic liver disease and autoimmune liver disease can also cause jaundice. The risk of death is related to the severity of liver function; poor liver function and deeper jaundice indicate more liver cell damage, increasing the risk. Infectious hepatitis is contagious, such as hepatitis B, so it is essential to seek timely treatment to prevent the condition from worsening.
