Hello! I want to ask you: What are the symptoms of toxic hepatitis? I mean the signs, but common among the masses: yellowing of the skin and eyes. Are there any other symptoms, what are they and how soon they may appear after poisoning (getting the virus).

Respond Stanislav Y. Karpov, hepatology, gastroenterology, hepatology and gastroenterology clinic Medal In toxic hepatitis often do not have any signs of health. For the diagnosis of toxic hepatitis have to donate blood for biochemical tests (AST, ALT, r-GT, alkaline phosphatase, cholinesterase, bilirubin, total protein, albumin), to abdominal ultrasound. Similar question: Can a hepatitis A in adulthood occur with little or no symptoms, only the yellow skin and eyes?
