How is hepatitis diagnosed?
History of any medication with known hepato-toxic drugs, alcohol should initially be investigated. In the absence of these, viral infections like Hepatitis A, B, C, D and E cause hepatitis. Plasma aminotransferase, Alkaline Phosphatase, Serum bilirubin, Prothrombin time, and certain specific tests are employed to establish the diagnosis. Consult your doctor whenever suspect hepatitis.
