Ayurvedic Concept
According to Ayurveda, there are three doshas (kapha, pitta, and vata). Aggravated Pitta is directly associated with excess bile production and also cause blockage of bile. This will ultimately affect the Agni (digestive fire) of the body which is responsible for absorption, digestion and body metabolism. According to Ayurveda "Yakrit" which is the Sanskrit name of liver and "Vikara" known as a disorder. So hepatitis is somehow related to Yakrit vikar.
