In the vast sea of people, I was suddenly targeted by hepatitis. In fact, this is closely related to an individual's lifestyle habits. Chronic hepatitis, as a liver disease, requires timely treatment to avoid worsening of the condition, which can pose a significant threat to health. Some people are always busy with work and almost neglect their health. This situation must be taken seriously. So, how long can chronic hepatitis be cured?
Chronic hepatitis refers to the condition where acute hepatitis B or C persists for more than six months and progresses to chronic hepatitis. There are also many cases of chronic hepatitis where multiple people are infected with the hepatitis virus, and the onset is insidious. When discovered, it has already become chronic hepatitis, which is highly contagious. Hepatitis A and E generally do not develop into chronic hepatitis, but acute hepatitis A has a persistent and unhealed phenomenon.
At present, the treatment of Da San Yang mainly adopts antiviral therapy, and commonly used viral drugs include interferon, nucleoside drugs, immune modulators, etc. Interferon is currently the main antiviral drug due to its relatively certain antiviral efficacy, as well as its ability to resist liver fibrosis and reduce the incidence of liver cancer. At the same time, the treatment methods for Da San Yang vary depending on the stage of the disease.
Previously, it was classified into chronic persistent hepatitis and chronic active hepatitis based on its symptoms, signs, and pathological changes in the liver.
① Chronic persistent hepatitis: The patient's symptoms, signs, and changes in liver function are not severe. Common symptoms include fatigue, loss of appetite, mild pain in the liver area, occasional jaundice, mild liver enlargement, moderate hardness, and mild tenderness.
② Chronic active hepatitis: The clinical symptoms are severe, and the course of the disease is characterized by repeated exacerbation of the condition. Symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, and liver pain are obvious, with moderate jaundice, liver enlargement, spleen often palpable, liver disease facial features, spider nevi, and liver palms. And there are extrahepatic system manifestations, such as arthritis, vasculitis, rash, persistent or repeated elevation of ALT, abnormal protein metabolism, white/globe inversion, decreased white blood cells and platelets, and possible anemia.
Always full of hope, pay attention to chronic hepatitis, and in this treatment process, be more patient. After identifying the cause, treatment is more targeted. The level of medical technology is constantly improving, so we must believe in science. For some folk remedies, we cannot blindly use medication, as this can easily worsen the condition and even delay treatment.
