Common cause of Liver cirrhosis

A

Alcoholism also cause of Laennec’s Cirrhosis

can cause also post necrotic cirrhosis (hepa A-E)
-post billiary cirrhosis (biliary obstruction)
-CHON malnutrition- Liver parenchymal damage
-Schistosomiasis (Bilharzia) also called Snail fever and katayama fever

Q

what type of hepa by eating food or drinking water contaminated

A

Hepa A

Most people with hepatitis A usually get better on their own without treatment. In rare cases, hepatitis A infection can be very serious and a person may require treatment to support their body’s recovery in the hospital. There is no specific treatment targeted at the HAV.

Q

spreads from person to person through contact with blood, semen, and other bodily fluids. Sexual contact is a common way people get type hepatitis. Needle-sharing and exposure to blood are other ways you can get exposed. Healthcare workers can get this from unintentional needle sticks. can also pass the virus to an unborn child during pregnancy.

A

Hepa B

There is no cure for hepatitis B. There are medications that help slow liver damage. People with hepatitis B should avoid alcohol and medications that cause liver damage.There is a vaccine for hepatitis B. It is a three-dose series. It is part of the childhood immunization schedule. Children should get the vaccine because they are at high risk for chronic infection. If you don’t know if you got the vaccine as a child, your healthcare provider can order a blood test to see if you are immune.

Q

passed to someone when they come in contact with blood that contains the virus. Most people get. Needle-sharing, Sharing items that could contain blood (like razors), Unregulated tattooing ,Accidental needle sticks,Sexual contact (though less likely)

A

Hepa C

Hepatitis C is treated with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). DAAs are pills. A person with hepatitis C takes DAAs for 8 to 12 weeks. Over 90% of people with HCV are cured. Most people do not need to see a specialist to get hepatitis C treatment. You should not drink alcohol or use any medications or supplements that can harm the liver while taking DAAs.

Q

spreads through blood and bodily fluids like the hepatitis B virus. Only people who already have hepatitis B can get hepatitis _. People can get hepatitis B and _ at the same time (called co-infection). Or they can get hepatitis _ after first getting hepatitis B (called superinfection).

A

Hepa D

spreads through blood and bodily fluids like the hepatitis B virus. Only people who already have hepatitis B can get hepatitis D. People can get hepatitis B and D at the same time (called co-infection). Or they can get hepatitis D after first getting hepatitis B (called superinfection).
