What causes yellow egg hepatitis?

Jaundiced hepatitis is also a relatively common symptom of hepatitis. When the disease occurs, patients often experience symptoms such as high fever and chills. Some patients will experience symptoms such as physical fatigue and loss of appetite. There are many causes of jaundiced hepatitis, such as viral hepatitis, acute jaundiced hepatitis, and alcohol, etc., which may lead to the onset of jaundiced hepatitis.

What causes yellow egg hepatitis?

1. Jaundiced hepatitis is caused by the hepatitis virus destroying liver cells, liver tissue destruction and reconstruction, and bile duct obstruction, resulting in an increase in both conjugated and unconjugated bilirubin in the blood, causing symptoms such as yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes, and sclera of the eyes. Normally, when the bilirubin concentration in the blood is higher than 2-3 mg/dL, these parts will appear in a color that can be distinguished by the naked eye.

2. This jaundice phenomenon occurs in viral hepatitis mainly because the hepatitis virus invades the liver and replicates in the liver cells. Under the action of the body's immune response, liver cells are damaged together, causing edema and destruction of liver tissue, resulting in a series of changes such as inflammatory infiltration, congestion, edema, exudation, liver cell degeneration and necrosis. This affects the normal state and structure of liver tissue, damages the various functions of the liver's bilirubin metabolism, and prevents bilirubin from being discharged normally from the biliary system and entering the blood. Bilirubin flows with the blood to various organs of the body, and each organ can be stained yellow. This bilirubin is a yellow pigment that is most tightly bound to the tissue of elastin. Therefore, the sclera and skin, which are rich in elastin, are most likely to appear yellow, and the yellow stain fades more slowly than other tissues.

3. The most common of these is acute icteric hepatitis, which is a type of acute viral hepatitis and an acute gastrointestinal infectious disease caused by hepatitis virus.

4. Alcohol is one of the causes of icteric hepatitis. The human liver can metabolize about 1 gram of alcohol per kilogram of body weight per day. The amount of alcohol a person weighing 60 kg is allowed to consume per day should be limited to less than 60 grams. Those weighing less than 60 kg should reduce their intake accordingly, and it is best to keep it at around 45 grams. If people drink too much, it will directly cause liver damage. Then the body will gradually become tired and weak, jaundice will appear on the skin, and eventually jaundice hepatitis will develop.

Symptoms of jaundice hepatitis

1. Urine is yellow like tea: Patients with icteric hepatitis all have symptoms of yellow urine. Initially the urine is light yellow in color, which gradually darkens day by day, becoming as thick as tea or soybean oil; then the skin and sclera turn yellow. The reason why urine color becomes darker is that the hepatitis virus causes liver cell damage, affecting the metabolism of bilirubin and causing more bilirubin to enter the blood.

2. Pain in the liver area: It is called icteric hepatitis, which will definitely cause liver damage. The location of the pain is in the right upper abdomen. The reason for the symptom of icteric hepatitis such as pain in the liver area is that the hepatitis virus causes the liver to swell, increasing the tension of the liver capsule and causing inflammation to spread to the liver ligaments and the surrounding tissues.

3. Fever: When patients with jaundice hepatitis have fever symptoms, many people will misdiagnose it as a cold and fever, which delays the timely treatment of the disease. The cause of fever is hepatocellular necrosis, liver dysfunction, decreased detoxification and excretion function, or viremia.
