Hepatitis
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, often caused by viral infections, but it can also result from other factors like excessive alcohol consumption, certain medications, toxins, and autoimmune diseases. The liver is an important organ that helps the body digest nutrients, filter blood, and fight infections. The function of the liver might be harmed when it is inflamed or damaged. There are several types of viral hepatitis, including hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Each type is caused by a different hepatitis virus and has different modes of transmission and treatments.
Hepatitis A(HAV): Usually spreads through contaminated food or water, and in some cases, through close contact with an infected person. There's a vaccine available to prevent hepatitis A.
Hepatitis B (HBV): Transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, or other bodily fluids. It can be prevented with a vaccine and managed with antiviral medications.
Hepatitis C (HCV): Also transmitted through contact with infected blood, commonly through sharing needles or syringes among injection drug users. Treatment for hepatitis C has advanced significantly in recent years with the introduction of direct-acting antiviral medications.
