Hepatitis
We hear about certain celebrities being diagnosed with hepatitis, but then recovering. Then we hear about people dying from it. How are the cases so different? Well, hepatitis simply means inflammation of the liver. This, however, can vary in severity. Hepatitis can be caused by toxic chemicals, over-consumption of alcohol and a few other issues. Sometimes it can be controlled with medication, but sometimes it can evolve into liver cancer or liver failure.
