AB Hepatitis  is  an  inflammation  of  liver  tissues  caused  by  viruses,  chemical  exposure,  drug  reaction,  or  alcohol  abuse.  Viral  hepatitis  presents  and  progresses  in  various  forms.  Acute  hepatitis  results  initially  in  fatigue,  nausea,  mild  fever,  and  right  upper  quadrant  abdominal  discomfort.  Chronic  hepatitis  can  lead  to  end-stage  liver  failure  requiring  an  organ  transplant.  Clients  with  hepatitis  may  experience  fatigue  and  arthralgia  severe  enough  to  limit  their  normal  activities.  Acute  hepatitis  requires  the  client  to  conserve  energy,  but  even  as  the  condition  begins  to  resolve,  the  client  may  still  have  significant  fatigue.
