Explanation

People with chronic hepatitis are at risk of developing serious complications due to long-term liver inflammation and damage. The major risks include cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma (primary liver cancer). Chronic hepatitis also increases the chance of portal hypertension, which can lead to complications such as variceal bleeding, ascites, and hepatic encephalopathy. Therefore, individuals with chronic hepatitis require regular monitoring and medical management to reduce these risks.
