Hepatitis: Diagnosis & Treatment

What If I Have Symptoms?

World Hepatitis Day

Your doctor can do a blood test to see whether there is an antibody present if you have viral hepatitis symptoms or indications. Even if your symptoms have subsided, if you have types B or C, additional blood tests may be required in the future to look for complications and see if your condition has progressed from acute (infected within the last six months) to chronic (having the virus for longer than six months) disease. This blog mentions all hepatitis treatment. Viral hepatitis is sometimes referred to as a quiet disease since the majority of patients only have little or no symptoms at all.

To assess the severity of the damage, your doctor can also request a liver biopsy, or tissue sample. Typically, a biopsy is done by sticking a needle into the liver and extracting a small piece of tissue, which is then submitted to a lab for examination.

Hepatitis treatment procedures

Types of hepatitis treatment

Depending on the type you have and whether it is acute or chronic, there are several treatment options.

  1. Type A: If you’re wondering whether hepatitis A is a lifelong condition, the answer is no. Treatment is not necessary for short-term hepatitis A. However, in situations of severe pain, bed rest could be advised. Vaccinations help protect against hepatitis A. A series of two immunizations are administered to infants between the ages of 12 and 18 months to prevent the disease.
  1. Type B: Antiviral medicines are for hepatitis treatment. Hepatitis B therapy can be costly since it lasts for several months or years. Furthermore, to determine if the virus is responding to therapy, regular medical exams and monitoring are required. An array of three vaccinations for hepatitis B is recommended for all new-borns over the first six months of childhood.
  1. Type C: Antiviral drugs are required for treating the acute and chronic types of hepatitis C. Hepatitis C can thus be treated or cured. Antiviral medication therapy must be used in combination for those with chronic hepatitis C. Patients with chronic hepatitis who develop liver cirrhosis may qualify for a liver transplant.
  1. Type D: Hepatitis D cannot currently be treated with antiviral drugs. Alpha interferon was employed in a 2013 research to treat hepatitis D, although only approximately 25 to 30 percent of patients exhibited improvement. However, as hepatitis D cannot develop without an infection with hepatitis B, receiving a hepatitis B vaccination is one strategy to avoid hepatitis D.
  1. Type E: Hepatitis E is an acute infection, and there are no medical treatments for it. Usually, it resolves on its own. It is advised to avoid alcohol, get adequate sleep, remain hydrated, and consume enough food.

Hepatitis in Pregnant Women

Hepatitis during pregnancy

Your doctor will do a hepatitis B test on you if you are expecting; if positive, your unborn child will receive immune globulin injections and a hepatitis immunisation. This will lessen the risk of the infection spreading to your kid. Additionally, it can be advised that a mother with active HBV take antiviral drug therapy during her third trimester of pregnancy.

If the mother has Type B, the baby is likely to have the illness at birth. Type E can be lethal to pregnant women during their third trimester.

    It helped when you said that avoiding antiviral drugs could also prevent symptoms of hepatitis C. My wifey informed me a few nights ago that she wants our son to have immunization for Hepatitis C to ensure health protection because of his past complications. She asked if I had opinions on the best option for safety purposes. I’m thankful for this enlightening article, I’ll have a consultation with medical doctors to have immunization appointments for him.
