Spectrum of Liver disease
From acute stage to chronic stage
From inflammation to fibrosis stage
From fibrosis to liver cirrhosis
From liver cirrhosis to malignancy
From self limiting disease to non self
limiting disease ( drugs specific )
Terminology
Acute < 6 months , Chronic > 6 months
Inflammation vs fibrosis stage ( liver cell
???)
Fibrosis vs cirrhosis ( damage of liver
architecture )
Cirrhosis vs Malignancy ( change of liver
cell patterns )
Self limiting disease vs non self limiting

Acute Hepatitis
Definition :
Acute inflammation of the liver cell
Acute : time terminology , below than 6
month after exposure of the etiologies
In Indonesia : Viral Hepatitis is the main
etiology
Classification of Acute Hepatitis
Hepatitis due to infection :
Virus
Liver specific ( A,B,C,D and E)
Non Liver specific ( EBV,CMV etc)
Non Virus: Malaria, Typhoid fever , DHF etc
Hepatitis due to other than infection
Drug Induced Liver Injury (DILI)
Auto Immune Hepatitis

Acute Hepatitis A
• Picorna Viruse
• Particle 27 nm, non enveloped
• Genome 7.5kb, RNA , Linear,ss
• Antigen HAV Ag
• Anti bodi
IgM anti HAV (acute infection )
IgG anti HAV (recent )
• Humans are only natural host
• Stable at low pH
• Inactivated by high temperature, formalin, chlorine
Virus Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A Pathogenesis
• Entry into mouth
• Viral replication in the liver
• Virus present in blood and feces 10-12 days
after infection
• Virus excretion may continue for up to 3
weeks after onset of symptoms
Pathophysiology
• HAV is exclusively a virus of humans and primates
• Transmitted by the fecal-oral route
• Absorbed in the small intestine and replicates in
the liver
• HAV is secreted in the bile and shed in feces for 1-
2 weeks BEFORE clinical illness and approximately
1 week after the onset
• Incubation period is 15-50 days (on average 30
days)
• There is NO chronic carrier state
Hepatitis A Clinical Features
• Incubation period 28 days (range 15-50
days)
• Illness not specific for hepatitis A
• Likelihood of symptomatic illness directly
related to age
• Children generally asymptomatic, adults
symptomatic
Hepatitis B Virus Infection
• Acute Infection
• Chronic Infection

Fibrogenic cascade. The chain of events occurring after
the injury are shown. The depicted pathway is oversim-

Stellate cell activation. During injury, activation of stellate cells
represents a critical component of the wounding response. The
process is complex, both in terms of the events that induce
activation and the effects of activation
