B type Viral Hepatitis?


b type Viral Hepatitis.

i was wondering does the b type Viral Hepatitis cause death?

is there anything that cures the b type Viral Hepatitis?

Hepatitis B is a serious disease caused by a virus that attacks the liver. The virus, which is called hepatitis B virus (HBV), can cause lifelong infection, cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver, liver cancer, liver failure, and death.

Hepatitis B vaccine is available for all age groups to prevent hepatitis B virus infection.

There are medications that can prevent you from getting liver disease from the Hepatitus B, but nothing that will cure you. You should be careful about using condoms when having sex, but other than that, you should be able to continue with your normal routines, so long as your liver isn't too affected.

Probably not, most people have acute Hep B. That means it goes away pretty quickly. Others have chronic infections that may cause other health issues but you wouldn't die directly from the HBV.
