Patient's question:
Recently, a colleague in our company was found to have hepatitis after a thorough examination. I heard that hepatitis is contagious, so the company conducted a 5S (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain). In the past few days, I've been feeling a bit unwell after work, but I can't pinpoint what it is or what's causing it. What are the typical symptoms of hepatitis?Doctor's answer:
Common symptoms include: discomfort and aching in the liver area, general fatigue, reduced appetite, nausea, aversion to greasy food, and vomiting. Sometimes, patients may experience low-grade fever. In severe cases, jaundice may recur, and it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If treatment is delayed, a small number of patients may develop severe hepatitis, characterized by a rapid worsening of liver function until they become weak, accompanied by kidney failure and damage to multiple organ functions. Patients may experience progressively worsening jaundice, oliguria, anuria, ascites, confusion, delirium, and coma. Hepatitis is a disease that is difficult to cure. Friends with hepatitis should maintain a positive attitude and face it with optimism, as only this can boost their confidence in combating the disease.
