Abstract: (1613 Views)
Background and purpose: Acute hepatitis is an acute inflammation of liver cells that can occur due to viral, bacterial, fungal, and medicinal causes. This study investigated the final diagnosis of inpatients with the initial diagnosis of acute hepatitis in Qaemshahr Razi Hospital.
Materials and methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, the medical records of all patients (n=120) admitted with the initial diagnosis of acute hepatitis in 2014-2019 were studied. Data, including demographic information, clinical signs, and laboratory test results were obtained and analyzed in SPSS V21.
Results: The patients were 120 and there were significant differences between place of residence, family history, previous history of hepatitis, blood transfusion, smoking and drugs, alcohol, high-risk sexual relationships, and having HIV (P<0.05). The most common causes of acute hepatitis were hepatitis B and A.
Conclusion: Due to the high prevalence of hepatitis B and drug-induced hepatitis, it is possible to reduce the incidence of acute hepatitis by reviewing and paying more attention to hepatitis B vaccination as well as following up of patients receiving hepatotoxic drugs.
