Patient's question:
I just feel that my skin is getting yellower and yellower. Originally, my skin was very fair, but now my complexion is both yellow and dull. Then I went to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor asked me to get some tests done, and it turned out that I have hepatitis A. I want to ask, what exactly is hepatitis A?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis A is actually the virus that causes acute liver damage, and hepatitis A virus is generally spread through the fecal-oral route or through waterborne transmission, leading to an infectious disease. It is usually spread regionally and primarily causes jaundice hepatitis, acute liver damage. Essentially, antiviral and liver medications can achieve basic relief, meaning it will never progress to a chronic stage, but isolation treatment is required.
