Patient's question:
Do you have hepatitis infection? I've been feeling very tired lately, lacking energy to do anything, and sometimes experiencing symptoms like yellow urine and yellow eyes. These symptoms only occur occasionally, but they've become more frequent these past two days. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I was told I have hepatitis. How can hepatitis be treated?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver caused by various blood-borne factors, including viruses, bacteria, and others. Among these, autoimmune liver diseases have a familial, meaning that if someone in the family has this disease, the risk of others developing it will be several times higher than that of the general population. Additionally, a small portion of viral hepatitis is spread through blood and body fluids, while another small portion is spread through the fecal-oral route. Accidental exposure during daily contact can also lead to infection. The other blood-borne factors include bacterial, drug-induced, alcoholic, toxic, and non-alcoholic fatty liver diseases.
