Surgery of Hepatitis A Medication Treatment

Although there is no drug that can treat the symptoms of hepatitis A after development, the vaccine against hepatitis A is the most effective means of preventing hepatitis A virus (HAV). The vaccine provides 94% to 100% protection if you have two shots of vaccine series. But the vaccine may not be as effective in people whose immune system is weakened, such as the immunodeficiency virus virus (HIV).

You should get the vaccine against hepatitis A or an injection of immune globulin (IG) if you have had close personal contact with someone who has hepatitis A virus. If you have received vaccine or IG within 2 weeks of exposure to hepatitis, you may not have symptoms of infection with HAV.

IG immune globulin also recommended for :
- People who are known to be allergic to other vaccines containing the same ingredients in the vaccine against hepatitis A.
- Children under 1 year of age who were not vaccinated with the vaccine against hepatitis A and have been exposed to hepatitis, especially children who spend time in daycare. Thus, the choice of drugs for patients and vaccines against hepatitis A to hepatitis A or immune globulin were effective in the fight against certain epidemics of hepatitis A virus.

Surgery of Hepatitis A

Hepatitis A is a viral infection, so do not use hepatitis A surgical treatment. A very small number of people, the disease most people often long term (chronic), liver or the elderly, develop liver failure when infected by the virus hepatitis. This condition, known as fulminant hepatitis, which is potentially fatal. For some people who have a liver transplant is the only hope of survival.

Other treatments method against Hepatitis A Virus

Some people with hepatitis A may develop nausea, vomiting and dehydration. If this happens, you may need to be hospitalized to receive more intravenous fluids (intravenous or IV) and drugs to control their symptoms.

Prevention Liver Cancer Detection and Transplantation

In this session, I will explain in detail about liver cancer prevention and early detection of liver cancer, and cirrhosis liver transplantation .

Prevention liver cancer and early detection of liver cancer

There are several types of disease that causes liver cirrhosis associated with a particularly high incidence of liver cancer, for example, hepatitis B and C, and would be useful to detect liver cancer and early surgical treatment or Liver transplantation can cure the cancer patient. The difficulty is that the methods available for research are only partially effective in identifying, at best, only 50% of patients in a curable stage of cancer. Despite the partial effectiveness of screening, most patients with cirrhosis, hepatitis B and C, are reviewed annually or every six months with liver ultrasound and measurement of proteins produced by cancer in the blood, for example , alpha-fetoprotein.

Cirrhosis Liver Transplantation

Cirrhosis is irreversible. Liver function in many patients become progressively worse despite treatment and complications of cirrhosis will increase and become difficult to treat. Therefore, when advanced cirrhosis, liver transplantation is often the only option for treatment. Recent advances in transplant surgery and drugs to prevent infection and rejection of the transplanted liver had significantly improved survival after transplantation. On average, over 80% of patients who receive transplants are alive after five years. Not all people with cirrhosis is a candidate for transplantation. Furthermore, there is a shortage of livers for transplantation, and usually have a (long months or years) to wait before a liver transplant to make it available. Therefore, measures to slow the progression of liver disease and to treat and prevent complications of cirrhosis are of vital importance.
