Hepatitis Treatment

Hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver, is more common—and more serious—than many realize. Whether caused by viruses like Hepatitis B or C, or triggered by other factors such as alcohol, medications, or immune disorders, hepatitis can quietly impair liver function over time. The danger lies in how silent it is. In most cases, the liver doesn’t show signs of distress until significant damage has already occurred.

Common symptoms of hepatitis include fatigue, yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice), abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, and dark-colored urine. But for many, symptoms don’t show up until liver function is already compromised.

The good news? Most forms of hepatitis can be treated—or even cured—when caught early. But that starts with proper screening and expert guidance.

Understanding the Different Types of Hepatitis

Each type of hepatitis affects the liver differently. Knowing the type helps in selecting the right course of action:

  • Hepatitis A: Usually short-term and caused by contaminated food or water. It typically resolves on its own but can cause significant discomfort.
  • Hepatitis B: Transmitted through blood or bodily fluids. It can become chronic, leading to cirrhosis or liver cancer if unmanaged.
  • Hepatitis C & D: Hepatitis C spreads primarily through blood contact (e.g., transfusions, injections). It often goes undetected until liver damage is advanced—but it is curable in most cases.And hepatitis D occurs only in those already infected with Hepatitis B and worsens disease progression.
  • Hepatitis E: Often linked to poor sanitation and contaminated water. Mostly acute but can be dangerous during pregnancy.
