Hepatitis

Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver. A viral infection commonly causes it, but other causes of hepatitis also there. Which include autoimmune hepatitis and side effect from medications, drugs, toxins, and alcohol. 
When the body starts making antibodies against your liver tissue this condition is known as Autoimmune hepatitis.

Types of viral hepatitis include:
Hepatitis A
It is caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV). HAV transmitted by consuming water and food contaminated by feces from hepatitis A infected  person.

Hepatitis B
It is caused by hepatitis A virus and transmitted through contact with infectious body fluids, like blood, vaginal secretions, or semen, containing the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Injection drug use, having sex with an infected partner, or sharing razors with an infected person can increase your risk of getting hepatitis B.

Hepatitis C
This comes from the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hepatitis C is transmitted through direct contact with infected body fluids, typically through injection drug use and sexual contact. 

Hepatitis D
Also called delta hepatitis, hepatitis D is 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.

Hepatitis E
Hepatitis E is a waterborne disease caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV). This disease cases mainly reported in the Middle East, Asia, Central America, and Africa.

Hepatitis Treatment

Hepatitis A Treatment:
There is no specific therapy for acute hepatitis A infection. Therefore, prevention is the key. An effective vaccine is available and recommended for anyone with liver disease. It also is recommended for people planning to travel to areas of the world where sanitation may be less than optimal.

Before receiving the vaccine, the patient usually will have a blood test to check whether the antibody to the virus is present already, in which case vaccination is unnecessary.

Hepatitis B Treatment:
About 25 percent of people with chronic hepatitis B can be cured with medicines, which is taken as a weekly injection for six months. The alternative is the suppression of the virus with oral medications. Suppression is recommended for patients with elevated viral levels and evidence of advancing liver disease.

In people with possible exposure to hepatitis B, such as health care workers and sexual partners of infected persons, an effective vaccine exists and is recommended. Also, transmission of hepatitis B from mother to newborn largely can be prevented by vaccinating the infant and administering hepatitis B immune globulin.

Hepatitis C Treatment:
Currently, the most effective therapy for hepatitis C is antiviral medicines. Some antiviral is taken weekly as an injection, and another one is a twice daily per oral. The treatment is a form of chemotherapy and the ability to tolerate it varies widely for each person.

A patient's response will depend on the particular type of hepatitis C, known as the "genotype." Other factors that improve a patient's chances of cure include low viral level, normal liver function and normal weight.
