Understanding Hepatitis

Hepatitis refers to inflammation of the liver, which can impair its ability to function properly. The liver plays a crucial role in digestion, metabolism, and detoxification, so any disruption can have serious health consequences.

Types of Hepatitis

There are several types of hepatitis, each with different causes and treatments:

1. Viral Hepatitis

✔ Hepatitis A (HAV) – Spread through contaminated food and water, usually resolves on its own.
✔ Hepatitis B (HBV) – A serious liver infection spread through blood and body fluids, can become chronic.
✔ Hepatitis C (HCV) – Primarily transmitted through blood, can lead to chronic liver disease.
✔ Hepatitis D (HDV) – Only occurs in people infected with Hepatitis B, worsening its effects.
✔ Hepatitis E (HEV) – Usually transmitted through contaminated water and common in developing countries.

2. Alcoholic Hepatitis

✔ Caused by excessive alcohol consumption, leading to liver inflammation and scarring (cirrhosis).

3. Autoimmune Hepatitis

✔ A rare condition where the body’s immune system attacks liver cells, leading to chronic inflammation.

4. Drug-Induced Hepatitis

✔ Caused by long-term use of certain medications that can damage liver cells.

Symptoms of Hepatitis

Hepatitis may not show symptoms in the early stages, but as the condition progresses, the following signs may appear:

🔹 Fatigue and weakness
🔹 Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
🔹 Dark-colored urine
🔹 Pale or clay-colored stools
🔹 Loss of appetite
🔹 Nausea and vomiting
🔹 Abdominal pain, especially in the upper right side
🔹 Swelling in the abdomen (ascites) in severe cases

If you experience any of these symptoms, immediate medical attention is crucial to prevent complications.

Diagnosis of Hepatitis

At Dr. ST Gopal’s LivWell Liver & Gastro Medical Centre, we use advanced diagnostic techniques to accurately identify and evaluate hepatitis. Our diagnostic tests include:

✔ Liver Function Tests (LFTs) – Measures liver enzyme levels to assess liver damage.
✔ Viral Hepatitis Panel – Identifies the presence of hepatitis viruses (HAV, HBV, HCV, HDV, HEV).
✔ Fibroscan – A non-invasive test to assess liver stiffness and fibrosis (scarring of the liver).
✔ Ultrasound & MRI – Detects liver damage, fatty liver, and cirrhosis.
✔ Liver Biopsy – Helps determine the severity of liver inflammation and damage.

Early and accurate diagnosis allows for personalized treatment plans to manage hepatitis effectively.
