* Drinking alcohol
* Obesity
* Diabetes
* Elevated triglycerides
* Infection, such as mononucleosis
* Autoimmune disorders of the liver and bile ducts, such as autoimmune hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis or primary biliary cirrhosis
* Metabolic liver disease, such as hemochromatosis or Wilson's disease
* Excessive use of certain herbal supplements, such as kava, comfrey, pennyroyal or skullcap
