Liver is a multitude of important and complex functions. The principal roles of the liver include removal of toxins from the body, processing of food nutrients and regulation of body metabolism. There is a wide range of conditions that can prevent the liver from performing its vital functions.

Hepatitis is one of the major problems. The word hepatitis comes from the Ancient Greek word hepar  and Latin word Jecur meaning ‘liver’ and Itis means ‘inflammation’. Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver cells .The condition can be self-limiting or can progress to fibrosis (scarring), cirrhosis or end stage liver disease. Hepatitis virus is the most common cause of hepatitis in the world.

Types of Virus

There are 5 main types of viruses that cause hepatitis, referred to as type A, B, C, D and E. These 5 types are of great  concern because of the number of the deaths they have caused. In particular, types B and C that lead to chronic diseases in millions of people, are the most common cause of liver cirrhosis and end stage liver disease.

Transmission and Prognosis of Various types of hepatitis

Hepatitis A

This type derives from an infection caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV). It is most commonly transmitted by consuming food or water contaminated with feces from a person infected with hepatitis A.

Hepatitis B

This type derives from an infection with the hepatitis B virus (HBV). This type is transmitted through puncture wounds or contact with infectious body fluids, such as blood, saliva, or semen, or sharing razors with an infected person increases the risk of getting hepatitis B.

Hepatitis B Prognosis–The hepatitis B virus usually only stays in the system for around one to three months and is therefore an acute infection. About 20% of people who develop long-term infection will develop liver disease and suffer from scarring or cirrhosis of the liver. Which can lead to death.

Hepatitis C

This type comes from the hepatitis C virus (HCV) which is transmitted through direct contact with contaminated body fluids, typically through infected syringes.

Chronic hepatitis C is long-term and can lead to permanent liver scarring (cirrhosis).

Hepatitis D

This is also called delta hepatitis. Hepatitis D is a serious liver problem caused by the hepatitis D virus (HDV). HDV is contracted through puncture wounds or contact with infected blood. Hepatitis D is a rare form of hepatitis that occurs in conjunction with hepatitis B infection.

Chronic infection with HDV occurs in less than 5% of patients. Infection with HDV in a patient who is already positive for the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is known as super infection and results in liver failure in 5% of patients.

Hepatitis E

Hepatitis E is a waterborne disease caused by the hepatitis E virus (HEV). Hepatitis A and E are normally contracted from eating contaminated foods or  drinking contaminated water. Hepatitis B, C, and D are contracted through contaminated blood. These forms of hepatitis can be either acute or chronic. Types B and C usually become chronic.
