Symptoms include an enlarged liver, fever, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and dark urine. INFLAMMATION of the LIVER due to hepatocellular toxicity, caused by drug metabolites and chemicals from the environment. INFLAMMATION of the LIVER. hepatitis. Inflammation of the liver; usually from a viral infection, but sometimes from toxic agents. Previously endemic throughout much of the developing world, viral hepatitis now ranks as a major public health problem in industrialized nations. The three most common types of viral hepatitis -- A, B, and C -- afflict over 500,000 people in the U.S. each year, and millions worldwide. Hepatitis B alone ranks as the ninth leading killer in the world. Hepatitis A, an RNA enterovirus, spread by contact with fecal matter or blood, most often through ingestion of contaminated food. Rarely fatal, it cannot be treated except by bed rest for 1 -- 4 weeks, during which time no alcohol should be consumed. It may recur after 3 months. Hepatitis B is shed through blood, semen, vaginal secretions, and saliva approximately 4 -- 6 weeks after symptoms develop; the virus may take up to 6 months to incubate, and people may also become asymptomatic carriers. Hepatitis B may heal slowly, and is a leading cause of chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. Effective vaccines exist, but it is the fastest spreading form of the disease in the U.S., with some 300,000 cases reported annually. Rates were up 80% from 1981 -- 1986 among IV drug users and up 38% during the same period among heterosexuals; among homosexuals, previously a high-risk group, rates held stable. Hepatitis C, infecting about 150,000 Americans annually, remains in the blood for years and accounts for a large percentage of cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer cases. Its main mode of transmission is through blood transfusion, and possibly sexual intercourse. Types D and E are less frequently seen in the U.S. Inflammation of the liver; usually from a viral infection, but sometimes from toxic agents. 573.3 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 573.3 contains 17 index entries View the ICD-9-CM Volume 1 573.* hierarchy Alternate Terminology Toxic (noninfectious) hepatitis  Index entries containing 573.3: Disease, diseased - see also Syndrome liver 573.9 drug-induced 573.3 due to chemicals 573.3 fluorinated agents 573.3 hypersensitivity drugs 573.3 isoniazids 573.3 Glissonitis 573.3 Hepatitis 573.3 acute (see also Necrosis, liver) 570 alcoholic 571.1 infective 070.1 with hepatic coma 070.0 alcoholic 571.1 amebic - see Abscess, liver, amebic anicteric (acute) - see Hepatitis, viral antigen-associated (HAA) - see Hepatitis, viral, type B Australian antigen (positive) - see Hepatitis, viral, type B autoimmune 571.49 catarrhal (acute) 070.1 with hepatic coma 070.0 chronic 571.40 newborn 070.1 with hepatic coma 070.0 chemical 573.3 cholangiolitic 573.8 cholestatic 573.8 chronic 571.40 active 571.49 viral - see Hepatitis, viral aggressive 571.49 persistent 571.41 viral - see Hepatitis, viral cytomegalic inclusion virus 078.5 [573.1] diffuse 573.3 "dirty needle" - see Hepatitis, viral drug-induced 573.3 due to Coxsackie 074.8 [573.1] cytomegalic inclusion virus 078.5 [573.1] infectious mononucleosis 075 [573.1] malaria 084.9 [573.2] mumps 072.71 secondary syphilis 091.62 toxoplasmosis (acquired) 130.5 congenital (active) 771.2 epidemic - see Hepatitis, viral, type A fetus or newborn 774.4 fibrous (chronic) 571.49 acute 570 from injection, inoculation, or transfusion (blood) (other substance) (plasma) (serum) (onset within 8 months after administration) - see Hepatitis, viral fulminant (viral) (see also Hepatitis, viral) 070.9 with hepatic coma 070.6 type A 070.1 with hepatic coma 070.0 type B - see Hepatitis, viral, type B giant cell (neonatal) 774.4 hemorrhagic 573.8 history of B V12.09 C V12.09 homologous serum - see Hepatitis, viral hypertrophic (chronic) 571.49 acute 570 infectious, infective (acute) (chronic) (subacute) 070.1 with hepatic coma 070.0 inoculation - see Hepatitis, viral interstitial (chronic) 571.49 acute 570 lupoid 571.49 malarial 084.9 [573.2] malignant (see also Necrosis, liver) 570 neonatal (toxic) 774.4 newborn 774.4 parenchymatous (acute) (see also Necrosis, liver) 570 peliosis 573.3 persistent, chronic 571.41 plasma cell 571.49 postimmunization - see Hepatitis, viral postnecrotic 571.49 posttransfusion - see Hepatitis, viral recurrent 571.49 septic 573.3 serum - see Hepatitis, viral carrier (suspected of) V02.61 subacute (see also Necrosis, liver) 570 suppurative (diffuse) 572.0 syphilitic (late) 095.3 congenital (early) 090.0 [573.2] late 090.5 [573.2] secondary 091.62 toxic (noninfectious) 573.3 fetus or newborn 774.4 tuberculous (see also Tuberculosis) 017.9 viral (acute) (anicteric) (cholangiolitic) (cholestatic) (chronic) (subacute) 070.9 with hepatic coma 070.6 AU-SH type virus - see Hepatitis, viral, type B australian antigen - see Hepatitis, viral, type B B-antigen - see Hepatitis, viral, type B Coxsackie 074.8 [573.1] cytomegalic inclusion 078.5 [573.1] IH (virus) - see Hepatitis, viral, type A infectious hepatitis virus - see Hepatitis, viral, type A serum hepatitis virus - see Hepatitis, viral, type B SH - see Hepatitis, viral, type B specified type NEC 070.59 with hepatic coma 070.49 type A 070.1 with hepatic coma 070.0 type B (acute) 070.30 with hepatic coma 070.20 carrier status V02.61 chronic 070.32 with hepatic coma 070.22 with hepatitis delta 070.23 hepatitis delta 070.33 with hepatic coma 070.23 with hepatitis delta 070.21 hepatitis delta 070.31 with hepatic coma 070.21 type C acute 070.51 with hepatic coma 070.41 carrier status V02.62 chronic 070.54 with hepatic coma 070.44 in remission 070.54 unspecified 070.70 with hepatic coma 070.71 type delta (with hepatitis B carrier state) 070.52 with active hepatitis B disease - see Hepatitis, viral, type B hepatic coma 070.42 type E 070.53 with hepatic coma 070.43 vaccination and inoculation (prophylactic) V05.3 Waldenström's (lupoid hepatitis) 571.49 Inflammation, inflamed, inflammatory (with exudation) capsule liver 573.3 liver (capsule) (see also Hepatitis) 573.3 acute 570 chronic 571.40 suppurative 572.0 Necrosis, necrotic liver (acute) (congenital) (diffuse) (massive) (subacute) 570 toxic 573.3 Perihepatitis (acute) 573.3 chlamydial 099.56 gonococcal 098.86
