There are five types of hepatitis, each of which should not be ignored! Many people only know about hepatitis B.
A healthy liver can provide the human body with essential albumin and adipoproteins, and hepatitis B is not the only one that needs to be prevented. Hepatitis An is a type of liver disease discovered earlier in the medical field. Mainly caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV), and without timely drug treatment and immune clearance, most of hepatitis An are self-limited diseases, which can be cured through the body's autoimmune mechanism. Hepatitis B can be said to be in many types of hepatitis. Its symptoms are anorexia, nausea, physical discomfort and skin jaundice, and may also lead to liver function degradation, metabolic disorders and other conditions. Hepatitis B virus can be transmitted through blood, sex, mother-to-child and other pathways. Patients usually have no obvious symptoms in the early and middle stages, and need to be judged by blood tests. Although hepatitis B has been well controlled and prevented, 3. Hepatitis C is caused by hepatitis C virus. It is also a more common type of hepatitis.
As one of the five internal organs of human body, liver has a variety of irreplaceable physiological functions. A healthy liver can not only provide essential albumin and lipoprotein for the human body, but also synthesize coagulation factors such as platelets to assist wound healing. at the same time, it also plays an important role in digestion, metabolism, detoxification and so on.
Therefore, taking care of the health of the liver is of great significance to the human body. But when it comes to liver, many friends will immediately think of "hepatitis B", but in fact, in many hepatitis, hepatitis B is not the only one to prevent, these five types of hepatitis, each should not be ignored.
1. Hepatitis A
Hepatitis An is a type of liver disease discovered earlier in the medical field, which is mainly caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV). This virus has physiological characteristics such as cold resistance, heat resistance and acid resistance, so it will exist widely in nature.
If human beings are infected with hepatitis A virus and do not get timely drug treatment and immune clearance, they will show dizziness, nausea, fatigue, backache and other conditions, but fortunately, most of hepatitis An are self-limited diseases. can be cured through the body's autoimmune mechanism, the harm to people is relatively low.
two。 Hepatitis B virus
Hepatitis B can be said to be the largest in many types of hepatitis, with symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, physical discomfort and skin jaundice. In serious cases, it may also lead to liver function degradation, metabolic disorders and other conditions.
In fact, the root cause of the great influence of hepatitis B lies in its strong transmission. Hepatitis B virus can be transmitted through blood, sex, mother-to-child, and so on. Moreover, patients usually have no obvious symptoms in the early and middle stages. Blood tests are needed to determine the condition.
Nowadays, although hepatitis B has been well controlled and prevented, we still need to keep enough vigilance.
3. Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C, which is caused by hepatitis C virus, is also a common type of hepatitis. Similar to hepatitis A, the self-cure rate of hepatitis C is also relatively high, and most patients do not have too obvious symptoms.
It is common to show mild weakness, low fever, loss of appetite and occasional jaundice or acne.
However, if the autoimmunity is poor, hepatitis C may also deteriorate into liver cirrhosis and other serious diseases, patients had better timely follow-up examination.
4. Hepatitis D
From a statistical point of view, hepatitis D is mostly a complication of hepatitis B and rarely occurs alone. Therefore, the specific condition of hepatitis D is not clear, and most cases will be solved by "piggyback" while treating hepatitis B.
5. Hepatitis E
Hepatitis E is the lowest incidence of the five kinds of hepatitis mentioned in this paper, and it is relatively rare in clinic. However, it should be noted that hepatitis E has a certain degree of transmission and lethality, and it should not be taken lightly because of its low incidence.
Patients with hepatitis E may have symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite and enlargement of the liver. If they can be recuperated in time and treated with scientific drugs, most of the patients can recover within two months.
