Features: Hepatitis and its complications, such as cirrhosis and liver cancer, are common and prevalent diseases that harm people's physical and mental health. Statistics show that China currently has 120 million hepatitis B virus carriers and 30 million chronic hepatitis patients, resulting in 270,000 deaths from end-stage liver disease (liver failure, cirrhosis, and liver cancer) each year. In recent years, with China's economic development and improved living standards, the incidence of fatty hepatitis caused by factors such as alcohol, obesity, high blood lipids, and diabetes has been increasing year by year. 14%-40% of fatty hepatitis can progress to cirrhosis or even liver cancer, with higher rates among alcohol-related cases, severely impacting people's quality of life and physical and mental health. Medical practice has proven that timely and effective prevention and treatment of various types of hepatitis, especially through integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine, can prevent and delay the occurrence and progression of end-stage liver disease. This book introduces knowledge related to the occurrence and development of various types of hepatitis from both traditional Chinese and Western medical perspectives in a question-and-answer format. It includes basic liver knowledge, the pathogenesis of hepatitis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment, dietary therapy, and lifestyle care, emphasizing that integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine is the best choice for treating hepatitis. The book also introduces many single formulas, empirical prescriptions, and medicinal diets for preventing and treating hepatitis, aiming to help hepatitis patients, especially hospitalized patients, gain a correct understanding of the disease, grasp its developmental patterns, cooperate with treatment, prevent or reduce triggering factors, and recover and promote health as soon as possible.
