ABSTRACT

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can be mild to life-threatening, based on the causative agent. Hepatitis viruses A through G are described along with potential treatments and infusion therapies. Nonviral causes of hepatitis include autoimmune, toxic, drug-induced, and alcoholic. The role of the infusion nurse is critical in prevention, patient education regarding all aspects of the condition, and administering and monitoring appropriate therapy.
