Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Mild chronic hepatitis is long term infection of liver.It might be due to various reasons
1.Viral hepatitis which is causes by viral infection
2.Alcoholic hepatitis which usually develops over years-long exposure to alcohol
3.Drug-induced hepatitis
4.Other uncommon reasons like Autoimmune,Ischemic hepatitis,Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, etc
Chronic Hepatitis may occur with limited or no symptoms, but often leads to jaundice (a yellow discoloration of the skin, mucous membrane, and conjunctiva), poor appetite, and malaise.

Hoping your query is solved.
Get well soon.
