Hepatitis A Complications
In most cases of hepatitis A, the liver heals completely in a month or two with no lasting damage. Furthermore, the virus doesn't remain in your body once you've recovered. Older adults and people with other medical problems, such as
congestive heart failure, diabetes and anemia, may take longer to recover and are likely to have a more serious course of the disease.
In rare cases, fulminant hepatitis — a life-threatening condition that causes liver failure — may develop. Especially at risk are people with chronic liver disease or a liver transplant.
In addition, some studies suggest that the inflammation triggered by hepatitis A may contribute to
atherosclerosis — the gradual buildup of hardened deposits in your arteries. Hepatitis A: Complications - MayoClinic.com
