Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.
Viral hepatitis is always possisble especially in iv drug users. But irritation may also mean fibrosis or cirrhosis or gallbladder stones. So you need to make viral markers and liver ultrasound.
