Causes of chronic hepatitis
Chronic hepatitis can be caused by various factors, including viral infections like hepatitis B and C, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) related to obesity and metabolic conditions, alcohol-related liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, certain medications, hepatitis E virus in immunocompromised individuals, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, Wilson disease, and hepatitis D virus in conjunction with hepatitis B.
These causes can lead to ongoing liver inflammation and damage, potentially progressing to cirrhosis, liver cancer, or liver failure if not managed effectively. Early diagnosis, appropriate treatment, lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring are essential in addressing chronic hepatitis and preventing severe complications.

How to prevent hepatitis?
To prevent hepatitis, it is crucial to understand the different types of the disease and how they are spread. Here are some general prevention tips:
- The best way to prevent hepatitis A is to get vaccinated. The vaccine is recommended for all children, travelers to certain countries, and people at high risk for infection.
- Frequent hand washing with soap and water can help prevent the spread of hepatitis A.
- Avoid eating or drinking contaminated food and water, especially when traveling to areas where hepatitis A is common. Ensure that water is properly treated or bottled, and avoid consuming raw or undercooked foods.
- Use condoms with sexual partners to prevent the spread of hepatitis B and other sexually transmitted infections.
- Do not share needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment to prevent the spread of hepatitis B and other bloodborne pathogens.
FAQs About Hepatitis
What are the latest advancements in Hepatitis B treatments?
Hepatitis B treatment can be done by taking antiviral drugs regularly. It might take over one year to complete recovery. The most effective drug is Bepirovirsen in curing chronic hepatitis B. Consult our doctor for the prescription refill of hepatitis B treatment.
What is the recommended treatment for autoimmune hepatitis?
The treatment for autoimmune hepatitis, including type 1 and 2, is a steroid therapy known as prednisone. Other treatments include azathioprine. Consult our doctor for the prescription refill of the drugs for autoimmune hepatitis at Your Doctors Online.
Is there a definitive cure for Hepatitis B?
The Hepatitis B vaccine can help prevent infection. However, certain drugs are present in the market for curing the virus, which prevents the virus from spreading to others or weakens the virus over time, but they must be taken as directed by your doctor and primarily work in the long run.
How is chronic Hepatitis C typically treated?
Certain antiviral medications like direct-acting (DAAs) can help cure HCV to almost 95%, but the treatment is slow, and there is no effective vaccine for preventing the virus infection completely. These drugs include sofosbuvir, ribavirin, and a combination of sofosbuvir with ledipasvir.
What can I expect in terms of life after completing Hepatitis C treatment?
Patients suffering from hepatitis C are not always symptomatic, which makes the diagnosis even more difficult. The most common symptom is fatigue. By the end of treatment, the symptoms start improving.
How long does a Hepatitis C treatment last?
Hepatitis C treatment lasts 8-12 weeks or up to 16 weeks in some patients. Patients with chronic liver damage may take up to 24 weeks for full recovery. The duration usually varies from person to person depending upon the severity and the treatment type.
Can I treat Hepatitis without insurance?
You can get the prescription refill of hepatitis without insurance or health cards via Your Doctors Online with a budget-friendly single visit or quarterly subscription for all your health problems. Consult our doctors on which treatment regime works for your condition.
How do you treat Hep C genotype 4?
You can get hepatitis C acute genotype four treatment without cirrhosis via one of the combinations of the following drugs:
Sofosbuvir-velpatasvir for 12 weeks
Glecaprevir-pibrentasvir for 8 weeks
Elbasvir-grazoprevir for 12 weeks
Ledipasvir-sofosbuvir for 12 weeks
How long can you live with hepatitis B without treatment?
Due to the slow progression of the disease, persons with chronic hepatitis B can often live for decades without treatment. Preventing these complications and improving long-term outcomes for individuals living with chronic hepatitis B requires regular monitoring and appropriate medical management.
Can hepatitis be treated successfully with antibiotics?
Hepatitis cannot be successfully treated with antibiotics because hepatitis is caused by a virus, not bacteria. Antibiotics are effective against bacterial infections, not viral infections like hepatitis. The treatment for hepatitis typically involves antiviral medications to manage the viral infection and reduce liver inflammation. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis, as antibiotics are not effective against viral hepatitis.
Can I get it if my husband has hepatitis B?
Yes, you can get hepatitis B if your husband has the infection. Hepatitis B is transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, or other body fluids. Therefore, intimate contact with an infected individual, such as through sexual activity, can lead to the transmission of the virus. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for testing, vaccination, and guidance on preventive measures if you have been exposed to hepatitis B.
