Which organ is affected in Hepatitis?

✅ Correct Answer: C — Liver

Hepatitis means inflammation of the Liver. It is most commonly caused by Hepatitis viruses (A, B, C, D, E). It can also be caused by alcohol, drugs, or autoimmune conditions. Symptoms include jaundice (yellowing of skin/eyes), fatigue, abdominal pain, nausea, and dark urine.

❌ Why other options are wrong:

• A. Kidney — Kidney inflammation is called Nephritis; affected by diseases like kidney stones, UTI.

• B. Heart — Heart inflammation is called Myocarditis; it is not related to Hepatitis.

• D. Lung — Lung inflammation is called Pneumonitis or Pneumonia; Hepatitis does not affect lungs.

📝 Important Note: Hepatitis B and C can lead to chronic liver disease and liver cancer. Hepatitis A and E spread through contaminated food/water. Hepatitis B spreads through blood and body fluids. Hepatitis B vaccine is available. Liver is the largest internal organ of the human body.
