B15.0: Hepatitis A with hepatic coma
You have an inflammation of the liver that is caused by viruses.
Your liver has become inflamed as a result of the hepatitis A virus. So this liver inflammation is also called hepatitis A.
If the liver is inflamed, this can cause various symptoms. The skin and eyes may turn yellow. The stool may be colorless and urine may be very dark. You may also feel nauseous. You can get a fever and have muscle pain. You may also feel feeble and tired. You may be seriously ill.
The inflammation has very badly damaged your liver. Your liver can no longer carry out its usual tasks. The liver has many different tasks. For example, the liver produces a lot of proteins for the body. Certain proteins are important for blood clotting. Other proteins transport substances around the body or keep the fluid in the blood vessels. The liver also helps to detoxify the body. You are seriously ill because of this bad liver damage. You are no longer responding to what is around you, because you are unconscious. A person sometimes still responds to pain stimuli. You may have severe bleeding with even minor injuries.
