Symptoms Hepatitis may start and get better quickly (acute hepatitis), or cause long-term disease (chronic hepatitis). It can lead to liver damage, liver failure or liver cancer. The severity of hepatitis depends on many factors, including the cause of the liver damage and any illnesses you have. Hepatitis A, for example, usually of short duration and does not lead to chronic liver problems. The symptoms of hepatitis include: Pain or bloating Breast development in men Dark urine and clay-colored stools or pale fatigue Fever, usually low generalized itching Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes) appetite Nausea and vomiting Weight loss You may have no symptoms when they become infected with hepatitis B for the first time. You can develop liver failure later. If you have any risk factors for all types of hepatitis, you should be tested periodically.
