Hepatitis B treatment:
- The hepatitis B virus causes inflammation and serious infection in the liver that can lead to liver damage, cirrhosis, and loss of function. The treatment of hepatitis B depends on the degree of inflammation, i.e. whether it is chronic, i.e. more than six months or acute, and the general health status of the patient. In acute cases, some advice is followed, such as taking a rest, drinking fluids intensively, eating a healthy diet, and following up on your condition. In the event of any severe symptoms, you will be admitted to the hospital. In chronic cases, antiviral drugs are used such as Interferon Alpha, Tenofovir, Telbivudine to help slow down the destruction of the liver, and the last options in treatment are liver resection and transplantation of a healthy liver from another donor
