Patient's question:
I am 38 years old and recently feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and at night, I always feel stomach pain. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They asked me to get an injection. Could you please tell me the difference between cholestatic hepatitis and jaundice hepatitis?Doctor's answer:
Bile duct obstruction hepatitis is primarily caused by various reasons leading to the obstruction of cell excretion of bile, resulting in bile reflux. Therefore, in clinical diagnosis, it mainly manifests as jaundice and itching, accompanied by elevated serum conjugated bilirubin levels. Jaundice hepatitis is mainly caused by infection with hepatitis B virus or hepatitis A virus, leading to liver function damage. The main treatment involves using liver-protecting drugs for symptomatic relief.
