When the liver is inflamed or damaged, its function can be affected. Heavy alcohol use, toxins, some medications, and certain medical conditions can cause hepatitis. When liver damage (cirrhosis) caused by hepatitis C starts to get worse, you may feel nauseated and lose your appetite. Advanced cirrhosis can cause pressure to build up in your liver's blood vessels. This enlarges the veins in your esophagus and elsewhere in your digestive system
