Consequences of chronic hepatitis may include scarring or cirrhosis and its complications, liver failure, liver cancer, or bleeding disorders. It is often caused by viruses like hepatitis B and C. Other causes include chronic alcohol use, fatty liver disease, and autoimmune diseases (body's immune system attacking itself).
