Viral Hepatitis:

Viral hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver caused by infections. There are several types of  hepatitis, including hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Each type is caused by a different virus and can vary in severity from mild to chronic, potentially leading to liver cirrhosis or liver cancer if left untreated.

FAQ's

Symptoms can vary depending on the type of hepatitis and may include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), dark urine, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting.

Diagnosis involves blood tests to detect specific antibodies or viral antigens associated with each type of hepatitis. Liver function tests and imaging studies may also be conducted to assess liver health and identify any complications.

Treatment depends on the type and severity of hepatitis. For acute hepatitis A and E, supportive care such as rest, adequate hydration, and nutrition may be sufficient. Chronic hepatitis B and C may require antiviral medications to suppress viral replication and reduce liver inflammation.

Yes, vaccination is available for hepatitis A and B and is recommended as a preventive measure, particularly for individuals at higher risk of exposure. Practicing good hygiene, avoiding risky behaviors such as sharing needles or having unprotected sex, and avoiding contaminated food and water sources can also reduce the risk of viral hepatitis
