WHAT IS HEPATITIS

source

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that is caused by a variety of infectious viruses and noninfectious agents leading to a range of health problems, some of which can be fatal and chronic. There are five main types and strains of the hepatitis virus, referred to as types A, B, C, D and E. While they all cause liver disease, they differ in important ways including modes of transmission, severity of the illness, geographical distribution and prevention methods. In particular, types B and C lead to chronic disease in hundreds of millions of people and together are the most common cause of liver cirrhosis, liver cancer and viral hepatitis-related deaths. An estimated record of 354 million people worldwide live with hepatitis B or C, and for most, testing and treatment remain beyond reach.
Some types of hepatitis can be prevented or treated through vaccination. A WHO study show record of estimated 4.5 million premature deaths could be prevented in low- and middle-income countries by 2030 through vaccination, diagnostic tests, medicines and education campaigns. aims to reduce new hepatitis infections by 90% and deaths by 65%. Here's an overview:

1. Hepatitis A (HAV): Spread through contaminated food, water, or close contact.
2. Hepatitis B (HBV): Transmitted via bodily fluids, vertical transmission from mother to child, or sharing needles.
3. Hepatitis C (HCV): Primarily transmitted through blood-to-blood contact, injecting drugs, or unsanitary tattoos.
4. Hepatitis D (HDV): Coinfection with HBV or superinfection in HBV carriers.
5. Hepatitis E (HEV): Usually gotten through contaminated water or food.

Is hepatitis curable?

Most of hepatitis can be treated but not completely curiable, like chronic hepatitis B is treatable but not cureable antiviral medicine can help control the infection but you have to take care of your liver only God knows when you will be able to do that probably till the end of your life. Hepatitis C D and E remains uncurable due to it's high effect on human body.
