Title: Why does the following symptoms occur in Hepatitis ? Post by: Pranit Ingale on Jul 8, 2014 I was going through Hepatitis when I found various symptoms. I 'm not getting why or how these particular symptoms occur when a person is affected by Hepatitis. Following is the list of those symptoms-
♦ pain in muscles and joint ♦ splenic enlargement ♦ anorexia ♦ nausea Please try to explain the reason that how these symptoms could occur. Answers on the basis of anatomy would be greatly appreciated............... Thank You :angel: Title: Re: Why does the following symptoms occur in Hepatitis ? Post by: duddy on Jul 8, 2014 ♦ splenic enlargement This suggests that the virus has been detected by the immune system. The spleen is responsible for making antibodies and removing bacteria, aged, antibody-coated and damaged blood cells. ♦ pain in muscles and joint Generic.

Title: Re: Why does the following symptoms occur in Hepatitis ? Post by: duddy on Jul 9, 2014 The liver and its enzymes are needed to digest food. If the liver suffers temporary or permanent damage from an inflammation (which usually causes damage to the gallbladder as well) caused by hepatitis or other infections, your body's ability to digest fats will be reduced with greater or lesser extent... less fat absorbed by your colon = weight loss.
