The liver, as the “silent hero” of the human body, carries many critical physiological functions. However, hepatitis is a shadow and poses a serious threat to liver health. Awareness of hepatitis is an important step in safeguarding the liver and safeguarding the health of the whole body.
Hepatitis is not a single disease, but a generic description of various hepatitis diseases, the main types of which include:
• Hepatitis viral: Hepatitis viruses, most commonly hepatitis A, B, C, D and E. Hepatitis A and E are often transmitted via faecal means of ingestion of contaminated water or food, often with acute symptoms, and most patients can recover on their own. Hepatitis B, C and D are transmitted mainly through blood, mother-to-child and sexual contact. Hepatitis B virus infection may develop into chronic hepatitis, hepatitis cirrhosis and even liver cancer; hepatitis C virus infection is chronic, with a similar high risk of hepatitis cirrhosis and liver cancer; hepatitis D virus is expected to cause disease based on hepatitis B virus infection, which can exacerbate the disease
• Alcoholic hepatitis: Alcoholism is the cause. Hepatic cells are damaged by chronic alcohol consumption, alcohol and its metabolites, causing inflammation, bad death and fibrosis. The initial expression is fatty liver, which, if drunk on a continuous basis, can progress to alcohol hepatitis, hepatitis cirrhosis, which seriously affects liver function and health. • Fat hepatitis: closely linked to metabolic problems such as obesity, diabetes mellitus and high lipid haemorrhage. When fat is overstretched in the liver, it is prone to inflammation. Early symptoms are not visible, and the development of the condition may lead to liver fibrosis, cirrhosis and increased risks of cardiovascular disease.
• Drug hepatitis: Some drugs cause liver damage in the course of treatment due to their own toxicity, allergies or special individual metabolic reactions. Antibiotics, anti-tuberculosis drugs, antithermal analgesics, etc. may cause drug hepatitis, which should be used with caution and liver function monitored.
• Self-immuno-Hepatitis: The body immune system “mistakes”, wrongly attacking liver cells and causing hepatitis. The exact cause of the disease is unknown and may be related to genetic, environmental and immuno-regulatory anomalies. Symptoms include weakness, yellow sting, skin itching and joint pain, which, if not treated, can develop into cirrhosis or liver failure.
Hepatitis is a common symptom of hepatitis. The common symptoms are as follows:
• Full body performance: the feeling of inactivity is often more pronounced and it is difficult to alleviate even full rest. Similar influenza symptoms, such as fever and muscular acid problems, may also be associated with hepatitis, which affects physical metabolic and immune functions. • Indigestion: Hepatitis is prone to appetite loss, nausea, vomiting, anorexic, abdominal, diarrhoeal or constipated. Hepatic disease affects cholesterol and digestive enzyme activity, thus disrupting normal digestive processes.
• Yellow Stamp Sign: The yellowing of the skin and membrane is a typical expression of yellow damp, and the urine colour will deepen, with a strong tea sample. This is due to liver damage, chlamydia metabolism, cholesterol accumulation and blood.
• Hepatic pain: Perceptive pain, swelling, sting or blunt pain may occur in the upper right abdomen or on the right ribs, with varying degrees of pain. Hepatitis causes hepatitis swelling and irritates the neurological endpoint of the liver membrane, resulting in pain.
Hepatic spleen swelling: During the development of the disease, hepatic and spleen may be swollen by inflammation, cell growth, etc., which can be detected through contact, ultrasound, etc.
Accurate diagnosis of hepatitis is essential for effective treatment and case management, using, inter alia:
Medical history and medical examination: Doctors have detailed knowledge of the patient’s past medical history, including history of illness, history of use of medication, history of drinking, family history, etc., and the search for possible causes. At the same time, a full medical examination was carried out, focusing on liver size, mass, stress, spleen, signs such as yellow saloon and abdominal water, and a preliminary determination of liver health.
• Laboratory testing:
• Sero-psychological examination: detection of various types of hepatitis virus markers, such as hepatitis A virus antibodies, hepatitis B virus markers, hepatitis C virus antibodies, etc., to determine the type of virus infection. Hepatic function indicators are also tested, e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e.g., e., e.g., e.g., e., e., e., e., e., e., e., e., e., e., e., e.g., e., e., e., e.g., e., e., e., e., e.g., e., e., e., e., e., e., e., e., e.,
• Quantification of viral nucleic acids: for hepatitis B and C, Quantities of viral nucleic acids, such as HBV DNA and HCV RNA, are tested to understand the replicability of the virus, assist in the diagnosis of the disease and the effects of the treatment.
• Immunological examinations: Self-immunological hepatitis needs to be tested for its own antibodies, such as anti-nuclei, anti-fluent muscles, etc., to assist in the diagnosis and identification of other hepatitis types. • Visual inspection:
• Ultrasound: the liver size, morphology, physical echo, vascular texture, etc. can be clearly observed, the liver swelling, fat liver, cirrhosis, etc., can be detected, and the condition of the surrounding organs, such as gall bladders, spleen, can be examined.
CT and MRI examinations: CT shows more precision in the structure of liver anatomics and details of pathologies, MRI has better resolution of soft tissues, each of which has advantages in the detection of hepatostatic pathologies, cholesterol expansion in the liver, cirrhosis of the liver, etc., and helps to clarify further the extent and extent of hepatopathosis and to inform the design of treatment programmes.
Hepatopathological examinations: Hepatic piercing gives a sample of liver tissues, microscopes to observe hepatocular inflammation, necrosis, fibrosis and cirrhosis. This is the “gold standard” for the diagnosis of hepatitis, which allows for an accurate diagnosis of the condition and the phasing of the disease, but because of its originality, it requires strict control of the certificates of adaptation and taboos.
The core objectives of hepatitis prevention and control are to control inflammation, prevent the deterioration of liver damage, promote regenerative hepatocellation, prevent complications and improve the quality of life and survival of patients.
• Treatment:
Hepatitis viral: Hepatitis A and E are mostly acute, self-restricted diseases, generally without the need for anti-viral treatment, mainly rest, nutritional support and treatment for symptoms, such as yellow reduction, stopping of vomiting, etc. Hepatitis B treatment focuses on antivirals, commonly used nucleotide analogues and interferences, and periodic monitoring of indicator adjustment programmes is required during treatment, while hepatitis B vaccinations are administered to vulnerable populations. Hepatitis C is treated with direct antiviral drugs, with a high rate of cure, and should be treated as early as possible after diagnosis and periodically reviewed.
• Alcoholic hepatitis: Ablution is the key, along with nutritional support, provision of high-heat, high-protein, low-fat diets and multivitamin supplements, choice of liver-preventable medications based on liver function, treatment of severe patients with sugar cortex hormones, and treatment of combinations and improved lifestyles. • Fatty hepatitis: improving lifestyles is a priority, with low fat, low sugar and high-fibrous diets, increased exercise and weight control. Persons with metabolic syndrome are actively engaged in the treatment of primary diseases and, when necessary, use, under the direction of a doctor, of liver, lipid and sugar medications for periodic review and monitoring.
• Self-immunosuppressive hepatitis: mainly using immunosuppressive therapy, common use of cortex combination immunosuppressants, close monitoring of multi-indicative dose adjustments in treatment, consideration of liver transplants for those with poor or severe treatment, and care for rest, mental health and nutrition.
• Drug hepatitis: immediate withdrawal of suspicious drugs and self-rehabilitation of mild patients, which can be treated with corrosive livers, etc.; moderate and severe patients may require artificial liver support treatment, very few need liver transplants and must follow medical instructions.
• Preventive measures:
Vaccination: Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B vaccines effectively prevent hepatitis response. Hepatitis A vaccine is applied to vulnerable populations, and hepatitis B vaccine is important for newborns, infants and children, as well as for high-risk groups. Hepatitis C vaccine is not available, but research and development is advancing.
• Cutting off transmission routes: prevention of hepatitis A and E, with emphasis on dietary hygiene, such as drinking water, cooking, washing hands before meals. Prevention of hepatitis B, C and D, prevention of unsafe injections, blood transfusions, tattoos, correct use of condoms and regular screening of high-risk groups such as family members of persons carrying hepatitis B virus.
• Healthy living management: Drinking alcohol at a reasonable level or abating it, and avoiding chronic alcohol consumption that damages the liver. Rational use of drugs, non-self-abuse of drugs and reduction of the risk of drug hepatitis. Maintain healthy weight, balanced diet, moderate exercise, regularity, reduced stress and maintenance of liver health. Hepatitis awareness, active prevention, scientific treatment, liver protection,
Embracing the key to a healthy life. Let’s start on a day-to-day basis and keep the liver safe.
