We all know that the steps in the development of hepatitis B are hepatitis, then cirrhosis, and finally liver cancer. However, many people do not know the cause of hepatitis B.
1. Causes of Hepatitis B
Viruses that cause hepatitis:
This is the most common and dangerous virus. In particular, it is a "silent virus" because most people infected with hepatitis B do not know they are infected and can unknowingly be spread through many different routes. When people have chronic hepatitis B infection (hepatitis B virus usually stays in the liver for more than 6 months), the person is at risk of progressing to more serious liver diseases such as cirrhosis or liver cancer.
Wine:
The liver is the first organ affected by alcohol, because 90% of the alcohol entering the body is metabolized in the liver. Alcohol can cause up to 3 types of liver disease: fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis. These diseases occur in series, with the first being fatty liver. If you stop drinking alcohol and beer, the disease will stop at this stage. Continued drinking will lead to hepatitis, cirrhosis and the final stage is liver cancer will develop from the background of cirrhosis liver cells. According to WHO: up to 71.7% of Vietnamese men have cirrhosis due to drinking a lot of alcohol.
Alcohol is the silent "culprit" that makes your liver weak
Unsafe food use:
The liver is an organ that metabolizes nutrients for the body to absorb. Using contaminated food, unclear origin and containing many toxic chemicals such as unhygienic street food... is the "silent" cause of liver failure. Once the liver is damaged, it will easily lead to high liver enzymes, hepatitis and cirrhosis are unavoidable diseases.
Polluted environment:
There are many toxic chemicals from the environment that accumulate in the liver. The liver also has an important job of detoxifying and eliminating toxins. Living in an environment heavily polluted by exhaust gases, toxic waste or working often exposed to chemicals, cigarette smoke ... your liver has to "struggle" to break down these substances. Under the long-term impact of toxic pollution factors, the liver will have to work continuously leading to overload, damage to liver cells, and reduced detoxification function. This is an opportunity for liver diseases including hepatitis, cirrhosis... to develop.
Smoke pollution is also an unavoidable cause of hepatitis B
2. The most effective treatment for hepatitis B
Because hepatitis B patients cannot immediately detect the signs of hepatitis B in the early stages until the onset of the disease, most of them are already in the chronic stage. Thus, the treatment of hepatitis B also becomes more difficult and patients need to take hepatitis B drugs as prescribed by the doctor.
Antiviral drugs
Antiviral treatment of hepatitis B is the main direction in the treatment of chronic hepatitis B, the best drugs for hepatitis B usually have α interferon, β interferon, γ interferon, ribavirin, polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid, vidarabi … The use of drugs to treat the cause of hepatitis B must be under the guidance of a specialist, absolutely not indiscriminate use of drugs.
When taking anti-hepatitis B virus drugs, it is necessary to consult a specialist
Immune-modulating drugs
The drugs to treat hepatitis B are specific immune boosters, doctors often choose to use immune ribonucleic acid - specific anti-hepatitis B virus properties, immune-enhancing drugs such as coenzymes, polysaccharides ganoderma, polysaccharides polysaccharid theem liver vaccine B, shiitake mushroom polysaccharides, rhizomes... These drugs are all substitutes for anti-viral drugs, thereby enhancing the body's immune function to achieve the goal of eliminating this virus.
Immunosuppressive drugs
Patients can choose to use drugs such as adrenaline, penicillamine, hydrochloride, azathioprine... for active chronic hepatitis with obvious autoimmune manifestations but not for long-term chronic hepatitis B treatment.
Autologous reverse infusion therapy
This is the most advanced hepatitis B treatment to limit the causes of hepatitis B, they encourage the patient's body to produce lethal cells, taking advantage of the body's autoimmune function to attack and destroy the liver. destroy the hepatitis B virus. Thereby, avoiding the recurrence of the disease after stopping the use of antiretroviral drugs of traditional cures.
Autologous reverse infusion is an advanced therapy for effective hepatitis B treatment
From the causes of hepatitis B , we can completely prevent it through vaccination. At the same time, when detecting the disease, patients should quickly go to medical facilities and specialized hospitals to receive the most effective treatment.
