Liver diseases and more specifically viral hepatitis are at the center of interest due to their global spreading, even in the most developed countries. The range of symptoms, the complications and the course of the disease have imposed the operation of liver centers at the outpatients' departments of hospitals, where the contribution of several specialized doctors the disease is diagnosed, prevented and treated. Many patients suffer from hepatitis without knowing it either because they manifest no symptoms or because the infection is not traced through the usual lab tests. This paper focuses on studying and proving how the systematic reading of the main liver diseases and the methods through which the doctor makes the diagnosis can help the study and analysis of a series of steps that have to be followed in order to treat the disease. Then, the use of a modern information system using Medical Informatics technologies is proposed so as both the task of diagnosis and the efforts to treat and overcome the problems related to the liver disease to be supported.
