Hepatitis Care

Hepatitis refers to inflammation of the liver, which can be caused by a variety of factors, including viral infections, alcohol consumption, and certain medications. There are several types of viral hepatitis, including hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E, each of which is caused by a different virus and can have varying degrees of severity. Hepatitis A is typically spread through contaminated food or water and generally resolves on its own within a few weeks without causing any long-term liver damage. Hepatitis B and C, on the other hand, can lead to chronic liver disease and potentially serious complications such as liver failure and liver cancer if left untreated. Hepatitis D is a rare form of the virus that only occurs in people who are already infected with hepatitis B, while hepatitis E is typically spread through contaminated food or water and is more common in developing countries.
