In some types of liver damage, patients will also experience fever. It depends on the cause of liver disease. It is more common in hepatitis A, but it can also happen in the case of hepatitis B and C. These are viral diseases that feature a very complex array of reactions in your immune system. Cytokines are released, and when they reach your temperature regulation centers in the brain, they increase your body temperature.
Fever is also a symptom of many other infections, and some can share signs and symptoms of liver damage. That’s why a healthcare professional is essential if you have these signs and symptoms. They are the ones who should tell you if you should worry or not and what to do to confirm if you have liver damage.
