CureYourBody.com is excited to announce the launch of
its new forums. The next several months will be critical to setting up the
forums the way you want them to be. So
if you feel we should add more categories or sub forums, please let us know.
We'll add sub forums on our own as well, if we feel a
large number of posts are being made on a specific topic. For example, "Colon Cleansing" was added as a sub forum to the Gastroenterology forum since there seems
to be a lot of posts for that specific subject.
I think Hepatitis A, B and C are all viral Hepatitis, that affect the liver. They are all different diseases and their symptoms/ causes/ treatments differ.
When your Liver is inflamed due to a viral infection its Viral hepatitis. Like Karen says, there are various kinds of Hepatitis.
Hepatitis A - when you eat food/drink water contaminated by a person with hepatitis A or have a sexual partner with Hepatitis A, you can get this. Though it causes swelling of the liver, it doesn't normally cause permanent liver damage. Hepatitis A can be avoided if you take a Immunoglobulin shot before you travel to a place where you have a chance of getting it.
Hepatitis B - You normally get hepatitis B from sex with an infected person, from an infected mother to her baby during childbirth, or sharing needles with an infected person. This type of hepatitis is serious and if not taken care of, can lead to liver Cirrhosis. Hepaptitis B vaccine given through 3 injections over 6 months is recommended to prevent the infection. Also use a condom while having sex and don't share needles, or even nail clippers or toothbrushes.
Hepatitis C - get the infection from sharing injection drugs with a person infected with the hepatitis C. The treatment is combination therapy using interferon and ribavirin.
Most outbreaks of jaundice during the rainy season are due to fecal contamination of water and are commonly caused by Hepatitis A and C viruses. Fatigue, fever, loss of appetite, nausea and yellowing of eyes and urine are signs of viral hepatitis. Hepatitis A is vaccine preventable.
As many of the original posters have suggested, it is imperative to suggest what kind of viral hepatitis we are talking about.
A couple hints about medical lingo and why we get paid the "big bucks" - really because we have our own code language rather than anything else. I am inviting you to the secret society today however.
The reference of "itis" is simply something that suggests something is inflammed, whatever is attached to that suffix will dictate the what's of the condition. If you have Bronchitis, your bronchioloes (airways) are inflammed; If you have pancreatitis, your pancreas is inflammed; If you have hepatitis; you guessed it - it's your liver giving you grief.
The causitive agent for the liver is a bit tricky in some instances, but again the other forum members have done a very good job at covering the basics of A, B, and C. While a vaccine is available for Hep A; its use is very unusual unless perhaps travel to a foreign land where it is perhaps endemic, or if you have a clotting disorder, or chronic liver disease, or illicit drug use, or occupational exposure, or homosexual contacts. We all receive Hep B vaccinations through infancy and childhood (though that does NOT guarantee immunity by any stretch).
I did not see some of the rarer forms referenced above like Hepatitis D, E, F, or G...but they all do exist. Hepatitis D cannot occur without Hepatitis B infection and Hepatitis E is pretty much identical to A except with some structural dissimilarities and no vaccine.
An easy way to remember how you come down with the different types (D being the exception as noted above) is the little pneumonic "the vowels hit the bowels" - in reference to A and E being contracted by food and or drink but many times it happens with inadequate hand-washing.
That all said, has this aided your questions at all. I am unsure with such an open-ended question what you are looking for so please be as specific as you can be.
I have read an article in the internet that Hepatitis can be transferred to another person via blood transfusion. This might be the case if a person got viral hepatitis.
How does viral hepatitis transmitted to another person?
HCV can be transmitted through blood transfusions. Other individuals who may come in contact with infected blood, instruments, or needles, such as IV drug users, health care workers or laboratory technicians are also at risk of acquiring hepatitis C, as are those who undergo tattooing or body piercing.
Hepatitis C virus is considered to be viral although it is unrelated to the other common hepatitis viruses (A, B, D, and E). Hepatitis C virus is a member of the Flaviviridae family of viruses. Other members of this family of viruses include those that cause yellow fever and dengue.
