Parenchymatous hepatitis, also known as hepatic parenchymal disease, involves an inflammation of the liver that targets and damages the liver cells (hepatocytes). This disease can lead to serious health problems, including liver failure in severe cases. Some synonyms for parenchymatous hepatitis include viral hepatitis, liver inflammation, liver disease, and toxic hepatitis, all of which are indicative of the damage to liver cells and subsequent inflammation that is involved in this condition. Other possible synonyms include acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, and autoimmune hepatitis, each of which may refer to different underlying causes of parenchymatous hepatitis. Understanding the different synonyms for this disease can help doctors to better diagnose and treat patients with liver problems.
