ICD-11 code : 1E50;
Preferred Label : Acute viral hepatitis;
ICD-11 definition : A group of liver diseases characterized by liver inflammation and fibrosis, caused
by more than 6 months of infection with one or more of hepatitis B virus, hepatitis
C virus and hepatitis D virus, with or without HIV. Even at stage of cirrhosis there
are often no symptoms. Otherwise, clinical features include fatigue, hard liver edge
and complications of cirrhosis (muscle wasting, ascites, splenomegaly/portal hypertension).
Transmission of hepatitis B and C viruses is by blood and body fluid contamination,
sexual transmission, and from mother to baby at the time of birth (vertical transmission).
In addition to detection of specific antigens (HBsAg) and antibodies (anti-HCV), diagnostic
assessment requires assay of viral nucleic acids (HBV DNA, HCV RNA etc).;
