Hepatitis is caused by many factors including drugs, toxins, bacteria & viruses. It is characterized by the emigration of neutrophils, lymphocytes & other inflammatory cells into the region of damaged hepatocytes. Immunoresponse of liver cells to some types of chemical agents can result after their biotransformation, binding with liver proteins & leak out of injured hepatocytes serve as an antigen that stimulates the production of antibodies. Hepatitis could be an acute or ______ type.
