HEPATITIS (08062879314)
What is hepatitis?
Hepatitis refers to an inflammatory condition of the liver. It’s commonly caused by a viral infection, but there are other possible causes of hepatitis. These include autoimmune hepatitis and hepatitis that occurs as a secondary result of medications, drugs, toxins, and alcohol.Autoimmune hepatitis is a disease that occurs when your body makes antibodies against your liver tissue.
Your liver is located in the right upper area of your abdomen. It performs many critical functions that affect metabolism throughout your body, including:
👉🏾bile production, which is essential to digestion
👉🏾 filtering of toxins from your body
👉🏾excretion of bilirubin (a product of broken-down red blood cells), cholesterol, hormones, and drugs
👉🏾breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
👉🏾activation of enzymes, which are specialized proteins essential to body functions
👉🏾storage of glycogen (a form of sugar), minerals, and vitamins (A, D, E, and K)
👉🏾synthesis of blood proteins, such as albumin
👉🏾synthesis of clotting factors
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 4.4 million Americans are currently living with chronic hepatitis B and C. Many more people don’t even know that they have hepatitis.
Treatment options vary depending on which type of hepatitis you have. You can prevent some forms of hepatitis through immunizations and lifestyle precautions.
*TYPES OF HEPATITIS*
The 5 types of viral hepatitis
Viral infections of the liver that are classified as hepatitis include hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. A different virus is responsible for each type of virally transmitted hepatitis.
Hepatitis A is always an acute, short-term disease, while hepatitis B, C, and D are most likely to become ongoing and chronic. Hepatitis E is usually acute but can be particularly dangerous in pregnant women.
⏩ *Hepatitis A*
Hepatitis A is caused by an infection with the hepatitis A virus (HAV). This type of hepatitis is most commonly transmitted by consuming food or water contaminated by f***s from a person infected with hepatitis A.
⏩ *Hepatitis B*
Hepatitis B is transmitted through contact with infectious body fluids, such as blood, vaginal secretions, or semen, containing the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Injection drug use, having s*x with an infected partner, or sharing razors with an infected person increase your risk of getting hepatitis B.
It’s estimated by the CDC that 1.2 million people in the United States and 350 million people worldwide live with this chronic disease.
⏩ *Hepatitis C*
Hepatitis C comes from the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hepatitis C is transmitted through direct contact with infected body fluids, typically through injection drug use and s*xual contact. HCV is among the most common bloodborne viral infections in the United States. Approximately 2.7 to 3.9 million Americans are currently living with a chronic form of this infection.
⏩ *Hepatitis D*
Also called delta hepatitis, hepatitis D is a serious liver disease caused by the hepatitis D virus (HDV). HDV is contracted through direct contact with infected blood. Hepatitis D is a rare form of hepatitis that only occurs in conjunction with hepatitis B infection. The hepatitis D virus can’t multiply without the presence of hepatitis B. It’s very uncommon in the United States.
⏩ *Hepatitis E*
Hepatitis E is a waterborne disease caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV). Hepatitis E is mainly found in areas with poor sanitation and typically results from ingesting f***l matter that contaminates the water supply. This disease is uncommon in the United States. However, cases of hepatitis E have been reported in the Middle East, Asia, Central America, and Africa, according to the CDC.
Now let's see how hepatitis is treated
Treatment options are determined by which type of hepatitis you have and whether the infection is acute or chronic.
⏩ Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A usually doesn’t require treatment because it’s a short-term illness. Bed rest may be recommended if symptoms cause a great deal of discomfort. If you experience vomiting or diarrhea, follow your doctor’s orders for hydration and *nutrition.*
The hepatitis A vaccine is available to prevent this infection. Most children begin vaccination between ages 12 and 18 months. It’s a series of two vaccines. Vaccination for hepatitis A is also available for adults and can be combined with the hepatitis B vaccine.
⏩ Hepatitis B
Acute hepatitis B doesn’t require specific treatment.
Chronic hepatitis B is treated with antiviral medications. This form of treatment can be costly because it must be continued for several months or years. Treatment for chronic hepatitis B also requires regular medical evaluations and monitoring to determine if the virus is responding to treatment.
Hepatitis B can be prevented with vaccination. The CDC recommends hepatitis B vaccinations for all newborns. The series of three vaccines is typically completed over the first six months of childhood. The vaccine is also recommended for all healthcare and medical personnel.
⏩ Hepatitis C
Antiviral medications are used to treat both acute and chronic forms of hepatitis C. People who develop chronic hepatitis C are typically treated with a combination of antiviral drug therapies. They may also need further testing to determine the best form of treatment.
People who develop cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) or liver disease as a result of chronic hepatitis C may be candidates for a liver transplant.
*Currently, there is no vaccination for hepatitis C.*
⏩ Hepatitis D
No antiviral medications exist for the treatment of hepatitis D at this time. According to a 2013 study, a drug called alpha interferon can be used to treat hepatitis D, *but it only shows improvement in about 25 to 30 percent of people.*
Hepatitis D can be prevented by getting the vaccination for hepatitis B, as infection with hepatitis B is necessary for hepatitis D to develop.
⏩ Hepatitis E
*Currently, no specific medical therapies are available to treat hepatitis E*. Because the infection is often acute, it typically resolves on its own. People with this type of infection are often advised
👉🏾to get adequate rest,
👉🏾drink plenty of fluids,
👉🏾 *get enough nutrients,*
👉🏾and avoid alcohol. However, pregnant women who develop this infection require close monitoring and care.
*Autoimmune hepatitis*
Corticosteroids, like prednisone or budesonide, are extremely important in the early treatment of autoimmune hepatitis. They’re effective in about 80 percent of people with this condition.
Azothioprine (Imuran), a drug that suppresses the immune system, is often included in treatment. It can be used with or without steroids.
Other immune suppressing bydrugs like mycophenolate (CellCept), tacrolimus (Prograf) and cyclosporine (Neoral) can also be used as alternatives to azathioprine for treatment.
*PREVENTION*
Tips to prevent hepatitis
👉🏾 *Hygiene*
Practicing good hygiene is one key way to avoid contracting hepatitis A and E. If you’re traveling to a developing country, you should avoid:
👉🏾local water
👉🏾ice
raw or undercooked shellfish and oysters
👉🏾raw fruit and vegetables
Hepatitis B, C, and D contracted through contaminated blood can be prevented by:
not sharing drug needlesnot sharing razorsnot using someone else’s toothbrushnot touching spilled blood
Hepatitis B and C can also be contracted through s*xual in*******se and intimate s*xual contact. Practicing safe s*x by using condoms and dental dams can help decrease the risk of infection.
*Vaccines*
The use of vaccines is an important key to preventing hepatitis.Vaccinations are available to prevent the development of hepatitis A and B. Experts are currently developing vaccines against hepatitis C. A vaccination for hepatitis E exists in China, but it isn’t available in our society here....the good news about this is that GREENLIFE herbal network from China have holistic treatment for this pressing ill health we are talking about Hepatitis and the products are available in avoidable prices
Royal tea
Detoxin
Double ginseng
