what is hepathis? can it be cured?

Answer 1

Do you mean Hepatitus?

Hepatitis is a gastroenterological disease, featuring inflammation of the liver. The clinical signs and prognosis, as well as the therapy, depend on the cause.

Hepatitis is characterised by fatigue, malaise, joint aches, abdominal pain, vomiting 2-3 times per day for the first 5 days, loss of appetite, dark urine, fever, hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) and jaundice (icterus). Some chronic forms of hepatitis show very few of these signs and only present when the longstanding inflammation has led to the replacement of liver cells by connective tissue; the result is cirrhosis. Certain liver function tests can also indicate hepatitis.

Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A or infectious jaundice is an enterovirus transmitted by the orofecal route, transmitted to humans through methods such as contaminated food. It causes an acute form of hepatitis and does not have a chronic stage. The patient's immune system makes antibodies against hepatitis A that confer immunity against future infection. People with hepatitis A are advised to rest, stay hydrated and avoid alcohol. A vaccine is available that will prevent infection from hepatitis A for life. It can be spread through personal contact, consumption of raw sea food or drinking contaminated water. Hepatitis A is primarily spread in third world countries, and can also be more often found in southern Europe than in northern and western Europe. Hepatitis A is transmitted fecal-orally, generally by ingesting contaminated water or food. Strict personal hygiene and the avoidance of raw and unpeeled foods can help prevent an infection. Infected persons already begin excreting the hepatitis A virus with their stool two weeks after the appearance of the first symptoms. The time between the infection and the start of the illness can run from 15 to 45 days, and approximately 15% of sufferers may experience relapsing symptoms from six months to a year following initial diagnosis.

Hepatitis B
Hepatitis B causes both acute and chronic hepatitis in some patients who are unable to eliminate the virus. Identified methods of transmission include blood (blood transfusion, now rare), tattoos (both amateur and professionally done), horizontally (sexually or through contact with blood or bodily fluids), or vertically (from mother to her unborn child). However, in about half of cases the source of infection cannot be determined. Blood contact can occur by sharing syringes in intravenous drug use, shaving accessories such as razor blades, or touching wounds on infected persons. Needle-exchange programmes have been created in many countries as a form of prevention. In the United States, 95% of patients clear their infection and develop antibodies against hepatitis B virus. 5% of patients do not clear the infection and develop chronic infection; only these people are at risk of long term complications of hepatitis B.

Patients with chronic hepatitis B have antibodies against hepatitis B, but these antibodies are not enough to clear the infection that establishes itself in the DNA of the affected liver cells. The continued production of virus combined with antibodies is a likely cause of immune complex disease seen in these patients. A vaccine is available that will prevent infection from hepatitis B for life. Hepatitis B infections result in 500,000 to 1,200,000 deaths per year worldwide due to the complications of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Hepatitis B is endemic in a number of (mainly South-East Asian) countries, making cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma big killers. There are three, FDA-approved treatment options available for persons with a chronic hepatitis B infection: alpha-interferon, adefovir and lamivudine. In about 45% of persons on treatment achieve a sustained response.

Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C (originally "non-A non-B hepatitis") can be transmitted through contact with blood (including through sexual contact). Hepatitis C may lead to a chronic form of hepatitis, culminating in cirrhosis. It can remain asymptomatic for 10-20 years. No vaccine is available for hepatitis C. Patients with hepatitis C are prone to severe hepatitis if they contract either hepatitis A or B, so all hepatitis C patients should be immunized against hepatitis A and hepatitis B if they are not already immune. However, hepatitis C itself is a very lethal virus and can cause cirrhosis of the liver. The virus, if detected early on can be treated by a combination of interferon and the antiviral drug ribavirin. The genotype of the virus determines the rate of response to this treatment regimen.

Hepatitis D
Hepatitis D is a virus like substance that has been called the delta agent. It is the closest thing to a viroid that infects a human being. Some scientist class it as a viroid. It cannot proliferate without the presence of hepatitis B virus, because its genome lacks certain essential genes.

Hepatitis E
Hepatitis E produces symptoms similar to hepatitis A, although it can take a fulminant course in some patients, particularly pregnant women; it is more prevalent in the Indian subcontinent.

Hepatitis G
Another type of hepatitis, hepatitis G, has been identified.

Other viruses can cause infectious hepatitis:

Mumps virus
Rubella virus
Cytomegalovirus
Epstein-Barr virus
Other herpes viruses
Drug induced hepatitis
A large number of drugs can cause hepatitis. The anti-diabetic drug troglitazone was withdrawn in 2000 for causing hepatitis. Other drugs associated with hepatitis[1]:

Halothane (a specific type of anesthetic gas)
Methyldopa (antihypertensive)
Isoniazid (INH), rifampicin, and pyrazinamide (tuberculosis-specific antibiotics)
Phenytoin and valproic acid (antiepileptics)
Zidovudine (antiretroviral i.e. against AIDS)
Ketoconazole (antifungal)
Nifedipine (antihypertensive)
Ibuprofen and indometacin (NSAIDs)
Amitriptyline (antidepressant)
Amiodarone (antiarrhythmic)
Nitrofurantoin (antibiotic)
Oral contraceptives
Allopurinol
Azathioprine [2] [3]
Some herbs and nutritional supplements
The clinical course of drug-induced hepatitis is quite variable, depending on the drug and the patient's tendency to react to the drug. For example, halothane hepatitis can range from mild to fatal as can INH-induced hepatitis. Oral contraceptives can cause structural changes in the liver. Amiodarone hepatitis can be untreatable since the long half life of the drug (up to 60 days) means that there is no effective way to stop exposure to the drug. Statins can cause elevations of liver function blood tests normally without indicating an underlying hepatitis. Lastly, human variability is such that any drug can be a cause of hepatitis.

Other toxins that cause hepatitis
Toxins and drugs can cause hepatitis:

Amatoxin-containing mushrooms, including the Death Cap (Amanita phalloides), the Destroying Angel (Amanita ocreata), and some species of Galerina. A portion of a single mushroom can be enough to be lethal (10 mg or less of α-amanitin).
Yellow phosphorus, an industrial toxin.
Paracetamol (acetaminophen in the United States) can cause hepatitis when taken in an overdose. The severity of liver damage can be limited by prompt administration of acetylcysteine.
Carbon tetrachloride ("tetra", a dry cleaning agent), chloroform, and trichloroethylene, all chlorinated hydrocarbons, cause steatohepatitis (hepatitis with fatty liver).

Answer 2

Hello

Hepatitis in an infection of the liver. There are different kinds of hepatitis, Hep A is passed through infected food or drink and goes away on its own with no lasting damage. there is a series of shots to protect from Hep A. Hep B a sexually transmitted and blood born disease. There maybe mild flu like symptom when first infected then no symptoms for about 10 yrs. how ever during this time the infections is attacking the liver and damaging it. There is a series of shots the protect against Hep B. Hep C is a blood born disease, you must come in contact with an infected persons blood to get it. it is very rarely sexually transmitted. as with hep B you may feel like you have the flu when first infected then no symptoms for 20 to 30 yrs however the damage is being done to the liver during this time. Usually the first signs that something is wrong are loss of appetite, extrema fatigue, dark orange/reddish urine. There are no shots against hep c at this time. There are quite a few other forms of hepatitis, these are the most prevalent in the USA. Hep B and C cannot be cured, however there are treatments that work quite well putting the disease into remission. They usually concise of a injection and daily medications. For more detailed answers go to a specialist.

Answer 3

Hepatitis is a viral infection of the liver. It also depends on which hepatitis you are talking about. A and B are not as bad as Hepatitis C. There are medications for Hepatitis C now but, there is only a 50 percent chance that it will cure it. Hepatitis B is caused by a virus that infects the liver. If you have this disease, your blood, either fresh or dried, is highly contagious during the four to six weeks before the symptoms of the disease appear and for a short time afterwards. If you think you have any hepatitis you need to see a gastrointerologist to have it checked and to get blood work done to see what type you have.

Answer 4

I'd say The Smiths invented emo. Morrisey was much much more depressed than Robert Smith. Compare the lyrics. The Cure at least had some happy songs while there is not a Smith song in the world without at least one completely sad lyric. "Friday I'm In love", "Love Song" "Just Like Heaven" These are all gushy songs by the Cure about how in love Robert Smith is and how happy he is. ***EDIT: I also want to add Ian Curtis since nobody mentioned him. Joy Division (1976-1980) was around before The Smtihs. Their hit single was entitled "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and the group disbanded when Curtis commited suicide. Very emo....

Answer 5

It's an infectious disease of the liver and you can get a lot more information about them (there are five varieties that are called hepatitis) at a medical web site than you can on here. Why don't you check a few out.

Answer 6

It is a liver disease. There are different kinds of hepatitis.
No, you don't necessarily die fom hep C which is the worst version - even it could be treated effectively nowadays with a combination of Interferon and Ribavirin. Hep C is transmitted through blood contact and not transmitted sexually, unless some bleeding or wound is involved.

Answer 7

hepathis is a very rare form of arthritis, it is very delilabating and there is no known cure other than deaths release. It is extremely painful and as a result the sufferer can hardly move without screaming.

Fortunately it is very rare and there have been no known cases in the UK at the moment
It attacks at any age but seems to prefer fat inactive people

Answer 8

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/Oczqa

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Answer 9

ive heard of hepatities but not hepathis! if its hepatities then no there is no cure for it, but there are diff kinds of it and i think it may be hepatities c that is the one where ou die from it because it i passed through from blood so always use a condom
