Liver problems can be very serious. At present, liver diseases can be divided into many kinds. Hepatitis A, hepatitis B and Hepatitis C are the most common liver diseases, which are very infectious. If you suspect that you have some kind of liver disease, it is best to go to the hospital for examination and diagnosis in a timely manner. So how to check for liver disease?
How to check for liver disease
For the examination of hepatitis A, hepatitis B B and hepatitis C, patients can go to the regular hospital for examination, and the results can be obtained by drawing blood on an empty stomach. The clinical manifestations of hepatitis C include fever, gastrointestinal symptoms, and abnormal liver function. Similar to hepatitis B, but milder.
What is the difference between hepatitis
1. Hepatitis A is mainly transmitted through the fecal oral route (gastrointestinal transmission). Water, food, etc. contaminated by the feces of hepatitis A patients can easily cause outbreaks of hepatitis A if consumed or consumed without thorough disinfection. In recent years, hepatitis A virus has been frequently transmitted through aquatic products, including mud clams, hairy clams, oysters, and drunken crabs, all of which can become carriers of the hepatitis A virus.
2. The transmission routes of hepatitis B are quite complex.
① Transfusion transmission: hepatitis B virus is transmitted through blood and blood products.
② Medical transmission: Infection caused by various unsterilized or incompletely disinfected syringes, needles, etc. during the medical process.
③ Mother to child transmission: women of childbearing age suffering from acute hepatitis B and carrying hepatitis B virus surface antigen are transmitted to newborns through pregnancy and childbirth.
④ Sexual contact transmission: individuals can be infected when they have sexual contact or close life contact with hepatitis B patients or virus carriers.
3. Hepatitis C has a similar transmission route as hepatitis B. Drug users can spread hepatitis C by sharing contaminated needles and syringes. Hepatitis C patients in China are more common in blood donors who collected plasma alone before the 1980s and those who have used plasma contaminated with hepatitis C virus.
This article introduces in detail how hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C should be examined, and also introduces the differences between these three liver diseases. If you are a person with liver disease, it is best to go to the hospital for a blood test in a timely manner in order to diagnose it. This can help determine which type of hepatitis you have and then prescribe the right medicine.
