I don't really know much about Hepatitis A and B but I do know that they treat Hepatitis C with interferon.  It usually consists of 1 shot a weeks and Ribavirin pills daily.  Some people do treatment for 24 weeks and some do 48 weeks, depending on your genotype (the strain of the virus). Treatment can be very tough for alot of people.  You have to eat right, drink 1/2 your weight of water and get plenty of rest.  Alot of people have to get on antidepressant before treatment as it can cause depression in alot of people. Some people work or go to school while doing treatment and some are not able to.  You are monitored while you are on treatment with regular blood tests to make sure you are doing okay while on treatment.  I don't really know if there is a cure.  This is very controversial as some doctors say there is a cure and some say it just goes into remission.

Interferon is a treatment for Hep C\n\nThe combination of Ribavirin and Peg-intron "a form of Interferon" has a high success rate with Hep C.  Unfortunately a person will always test positive and will always be infectious even after a successful treatment of the above.  There is no "cure". But with a successful treatment Hep C will not harm your liver.\n\n\nSCH 503034 is in the testing stages.

yup, dh1977 is right. You should get yourself tested for Hepatitis A, B and C plus go for an HIV screening. One way to get this done is actually to find out if the blood bank in your country carries out these screening tests for all donated blood products. That way, you can donate blood while having your health status checked :)\n\nAll the best and good luck! Do keep yourself healthy so that others may benefit from your organs optimally next time :)

Don't self prescribe vitamin A, you could seriously damage your body or kill yourself.  Acutane is your best choice and is well controled by doctors (I used it and loved it).  PS.  Explores in the artic died after eating polar bear liver because it was so high in vitamin A, so don't be stupid and do it on your own.

Some people can clear the virus naturally (immune system) and have evidence of past infection, but do not have ongoing viral replication (detectable hepatitis viral load). In fact, most people infected as adults are able to clear the virus (about 85% clear the infection when infected as an adult). Newborns and children are often unable to clear the infection, leading to risk of disease progression.\n\nThere are vaccines available for Hepatitis B so the numbers of new infections are declining.\n\nThere are treatments for Hepatitis B - these include Pegasys, a pegylated interferon medicine that is injected under the skin once weekly or oral agents. The oral agents include Entecavir (Baraclude) or Adefovir (Hepsera). A new agent is being studied - Telbivudine.\n\nThere are different types of Hepatitis B: eAg-positive and eAg-negative. This impacts how long patients receive treatment. Typically eAg-positive patients are treated until the virus is no longer detectable plus about 6-12 months and then the medicine can be stopped. eAg-negative patients usually are treated for life.\n\nTalk with your doctor to find more information.

Here is a little information on it. Take it very seriously. \n\nHepatitis C, formerly called non-A, non-B hepatitis, is also transmitted by contaminated blood transfusions and by sharing of needles among drug abusers, although in many cases no source can be identified. It is the most common form of chronic liver disease in the United States. Many of those infected have no symptoms but become carriers, and the virus may eventually cause liver damage. Blood banks routinely screen for hepatitis C. Alpha-interferon is used also to treat hepatitis C, in combination with the drug ribavirin.

I've had Hep B and nobody ever suggested there was a diet to follow, the only thing ever mentioned was NO Alcohol and that's because it strains the liver to process. I don't believe there is any particular diet for Hep B other than to eat a balanced healthy diet.   I have seen diets for Hepatitis C which presumably would be effective for Hep B as well....\n\nFoods To Use\n\nSteamed green vegetables \nFresh vegetable juices \nSquashes \nWhole grains \nLegumes, including tofu, tempeh, and soups with aduki and mung beans \nFish, organic chicken, and turkey \nPlenty of fresh water; add juice of half a lemon to a quart of distilled water \nFresh fruit in season, one to three pieces a day, depending on season and climate \n\nFoods To Avoid\n\nAlcoholic beverages of any kind \nHot foods such as chili peppers and onion; use only moderate amounts of garlic. Ginger is the preferred spice because it has a protective effect on the liver. \nPain-relieving drugs such as asprin and products containing acetaminophen. Many are toxic to the liver. \nMost pharmaceutical drugs, especially anti-inflammatories and antibiotics. Check the Physician's Desk Reference, available in a home edition and at most libraries, if you are uncertain about the potential toxicity to the liver \nFried greasy foods; they are often difficult for the liver to handle \nStimulants like coffee, black tea, or ephedra (ma huang) products; they increase body metabolism and act as a central nervous-system stimulants, increasing body heat \nRefined sugar products such as cakes, cookies, candy, and ice cream; or foods with white sugar, honey, and maple syrup. Refined sugar suppresses the immune system, stimulates metabolism, and increases heat in the body. Depend on fresh fruit in season for natural sweets.

The answer is pretty complicated, but generally, a combination of peginterferon alfa and ribavirin is used and the dosage and treatment length are dependent on which of the six possible types of HCV you have and how much virus there is in your blood.\n\nAvoiding anything that can additionally injure the liver, specifically alcohol is a very important component of HCV treatment, whether a patient qualifies for antiviral treatment or not.\n\nIf you are interested in the techical detail you can access the clinical guideline here:\n\nhttps://www.aasld.org/eweb/docs/hepatitisc.pdf

Depends on the severity of your problem.  Accutane is generally thought to be the most effective, but is reserved for the most severe cystic acne, as it has a lot of unpleasant side effects and can potentially harm the liver. Certain antibiotics are extremely effective if you take them on a daily basis.  If you are female, sometimes taking the birth control pill will improve the condition.  As for non-presciption medications, any product with the ingredient benzoyl peroxide is currently the most effective.\nIf your acne is severe, I encourage you to see a dermatologist, as this condition can be devastating to your self-esteem and may leave permanent scarring.

Just about NO topical treatment will be successful. Lamisol pills for 3 months...have your liver checked out monthly if you go on this med. Good luck.

I have not personally been treated with Pegylated IFN and Ribavirin, but anemia is common with Ribavirin treatment.  It is the leading reason Ribavirin doses are decreased during treatment for Hepatitis C.  Hopefully you doctor is comfortable using Epogen or Procrit to allow you to maintain the highest possible dose of Ribavirin during your therapy.  Using "growth factors" or agents such as Epogen (or "epo") or Procrit to boost red blood cells and keeping the dose of Ribavirin as high as possible will increase the liklihood of clearing the virus and achieving an SVR.\n\nBest wishes and good luck!

Hepatitis A is an enterovirus transmitted by the orofecal route, such as contaminated food. It causes an acute form of hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) and does not have a chronic stage. The patient's immune system makes antibodies against Hepatitis A that confer immunity against future infection. A vaccine is available that will prevent infection from hepatitis A for life.\n\nThere is no specific treatment for Hepatitis A. Sufferers are advised to rest, avoid alcohol, eat a well-balanced diet, and stay hydrated. Approximately 15% of people diagnosed with Hepatitis A may experience a symptomatic relapse for up to nine months after contracting the disease.
