Which of the following is a common symptom of hepatitis?

• A. Weakness
• B. Fever
• C. Nausea
• D. Jaundice

Answer: (C)

Hepatitis often causes gastrointestinal symptoms because liver inflammation disrupts normal digestion and bile processing, which frequently leads to nausea and sometimes vomiting. Nausea is reported by many patients with hepatitis, making it a common sign.

Weakness is common with many illnesses and isn’t specific to hepatitis. Fever can occur with viral infections but isn’t always present in hepatitis. Jaundice, while a classic finding due to bilirubin buildup, doesn’t appear in everyone, especially in early or milder cases, so it’s not as universally present as nausea.
