The more dangerous viral hepatitis B?


A 1% ill in the acute period can develop very severe, form of the disease. Suddenly, there is growing dramatically and jaundice, a sweet smell of mouth, drowsiness during the day, insomnia at night, may be bleeding from the stomach and intestine. This period may end up dying, but if the man survives, it sure is recovering.

Chronic disease without treatment over 10-20 years could evolve into cirrhosis of the liver in 10-30% of cases. Each year, 10% patients with cirrhosis develop gastrointestinal bleeding, jaundice, increasing the stomach through the accumulation of fluid violated mind, until loss of consciousness, and 6% have a risk of liver cancer on the background of cirrhosis.

What to do if you have signs of hepatitis B?

Call a doctor. There's no need to engage in self. This can lead to the rapid development of chronic hepatitis with the outcome of cirrhosis. Treat with caution to promises to cure hepatitis in the short term, the use of techniques "alternative medicine", "people's means." They still did not deliver.

As one survey and treatment of hepatitis B?

Survey and must be treated with a doctor: infectious disease, gastroenteritis and Hematology. The very treatment of hepatitis B drug that can block the reproduction of the virus began recently, in the early 90-es.

To determine the feasibility of antiviral therapy of chronic hepatitis B must pass corresponding tests, and it is possible extraction needle liver tissues (liver puncture biopsy) for microscopic examination. Before deciding on the appointment of treatment, the doctor must weigh all the factors: age, severity of illness, the risk of possible side effects of antiviral drugs, the likelihood of response to therapy.
