How many people die each year from hepatitis A?
Hepatitis A typically has a low mortality rate, with the World Health Organization estimating that there are about 11,000 deaths worldwide each year attributed to the disease. However, the number can vary by region and is influenced by factors such as vaccination coverage and access to clean water. In many developed countries, deaths from hepatitis A are quite rare due to effective public health measures.
Do you die from hepatitis B?
Yes, you can but the death rate is very small.
Will you die from Hepatitis C?
Yes, it is possible for your body to fight Hepatitis C(HCV), but the it remains in the body forever meaning that it could come back. When the body fights HCV it can lower the levels in your blood to almost undetectable. Though as I stated it is possible that at any time the levels could again increase. If your body fights it then you do not have chronic HCV, if the levels are high and do damage to the liver then they will tell you that you have chronic HCV. 30% of people with HCV are able to fight it off. REMEMBER THOUGH YOU MAY FIGHT IT AND YOUR LEVELS LOWER THAT DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE CURED.

Hepatitis CentralJuly 16, 2012Getting Real About Hepatitis C Prognosis Regardless of the rise in Hepatitis C cases and seemingly related deaths, the prognosis associated with this illness is largely determined by each individual's actions.By Nicole Cutler,L.Ac.Despite all of the progress made by the scientific community, there is no formuladefining lifespan with the Hepatitis C virus. We know that millions of people live with the chronic version of this disease, but the variables that determine who stays well, who gets sick and who dies from Hepatitis C are not fully understood. Before even assessing where someone stands with these variables, the overall prognosis of living with chronic Hepatitis C should brighten anyone's perspective on their potential longevity.Relevant StatisticsA blood-borne, viral infection of the liver, Hepatitis C can be acute or chronic. Those who only get acute Hepatitis C have an immune system able to completely destroy the virus. For those whose immune systems are not able to accomplish this feat, a potentially lifelong illness of chronic Hepatitis C could be in store. Ten relevant chronic Hepatitis C statistics are described below:1. Of those infected with Hepatitis C, about 85 percent end up with the chronic version of this viral illness.2. Hepatitis C is the most common blood-borne infection in the U.S.3. Worldwide, experts estimate that 300 million people have chronic Hepatitis C.4. In the U.S., approximately 4 million people have chronic Hepatitis C.5. Around 75 percent of Americans with chronic Hepatitis C are unaware of theircondition.6. One of every 33 baby boomers (those born between 1945 and 1965) are living with Hepatitis C infection.7. According to predictions by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, deaths due to Hepatitis C will double or triple in the next 15 to 20 years.8. Chronic liver disease is the 10th leading cause of death among adults in the U.S., causing approximately 25,000 deaths annually.9. About 40 percent of deaths from chronic liver disease can be attributed to 10. In the U.S., approximately 8,000 to 10,000 people die annually from chronic liver disease caused by Hepatitis C.Not So LethalThe 'death' statistics are certainly scary, but they don't portray an accurate Hepatitis C prognosis. The prevalence of chronic Hepatitis C in our society is staggering, especially considering three-quarters of those with the virus don't know they are infected. However, a careful review of the numbers of people with the virus compared to the number of people who die from the virus puts the lethality of this infection in perspective. In truth, many more people will die with chronic Hepatitis C than die from it. Two studies described below demonstrate this perspective:1. In a 2009 study published in the Journal of Viral Hepatology, Swiss researchers investigated the cause of death of those with Hepatitis C compared to the general population. After following 1,645 Hepatitis C-infected patients for an average of two years, they determined that:� as long as liver disease has not progressed to cirrhosis, those with Hepatitis C are not at any additional risk of death.� if alcohol is avoided, those with Hepatitis C are not at any additional risk of death.Based on this research, a diagnosis of Hepatitis C is more akin (parallel- like) to a warning to abstain from alcohol and make other lifestyle changes to prevent cirrhosis.2. In a 2011 study published in the Journal of Hepatology, Australian researchers analyzed specific causes of death among people with chronic Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C.Upon looking at the medical records of over 128,000 people, Scott Walter andcolleagues found that Hepatitis C is not as deadly as previously thought. They found that 72 percent of the deaths in people with Hepatitis C were from a drug overdose or suicide-not advanced liver disease.StabilizationThe stabilization of chronic Hepatitis C, as opposed to the escalation of liver disease, is the predominant determiner of an infected person's prognosis. Getting tested anddiagnosed is the single most important step towards Hepatitis C stabilization. Only upon being aware of one's Hepatitis C status can someone start to make choices that will help stabilize or cure their condition.Recent advancements in Hepatitis C drugs can lead to a cure in up to three-quarters of infected people. For those who are not candidates or are not successful in eliminating a chronic case of Hepatitis C through pharmaceuticals, there are many approaches that help prevent liver disease progression, such as:� Being completely abstinent from alcohol� Minimizing toxin exposure via inhalation, absorption and consumption� Eating a liver-friendly diet� Maintaining an ideal body weight� Getting regular physical activity� Using liver protective supplements like milk thistle� Avoiding cigarettes and drugs� Relieving stress on a regular basis� Seeking emotional support when necessaryThe lifespan prediction for those with chronic Hepatitis C will vary for each individual. Being diagnosed with Hepatitis C early, eliminating the virus with drug therapy, avoiding alcohol and drugs and making other liver-healthy lifestyle changes will undoubtedly lead to a better prognosis. Having chronic Hepatitis C is not a death sentence, but a reminder that we are all mortal beings. It is a call-to-action, reminding those infected totake charge of their health - and create their own prognosis.
How do you catch hepatitus?
Hepatitis AThe hepatitis A virus (HAV) is transmitted through the feces (poop) of infected individuals. People usually get hepatitis A by eating food or drinking water that's been contaminated with feces. As disgusting as that sounds though, hepatitis A is actually considered less destructive than some other hepatitis viruses. Unlike some other hepatitis viruses, hepatitis A rarely leads to permanent liver damage. Within a few weeks, the symptoms will have gone away on their own and the virus will no longer be in your system. Once someone has recovered from a hepatitis A infection, that person has immunity to the virus, meaning he or she will probably never get it again. People are also protected against hepatitis A if they've been vaccinated for it.ListenHepatitis BHepatitis B is a more serious infection. It may lead to a condition called cirrhosis (permanent scarring of the liver) or liver cancer, both of which cause severe illness and even death. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is transmitted from person to person through blood or other body fluids. This can happen in the following ways:1 unprotected sex2 sharing contaminated needles3 using non-sterilised equipment for tattooing or body piercing or acupuncture4 blood transfusion using non-screened blood5 from infected mother to baby.NB It is not spread through coughing, sneezing or from faeces.In the United States, the most common way people get infected with HBV is through unprotected sex with a person who has the disease. People who share needles also are at risk of becoming infected because it's likely that the needles they use will not have been sterilized.As yet, there's no effective cure for hepatitis B. In most cases, teens who get hepatitis B will recover from the disease and may develop a natural immunity to future hepatitis B infections. But some people will have the condition forever. Medications can help some people with hepatitis B get rid of the virus.Hepatitis CThe hepatitis C virus (HCV) is transmitted from person to person through blood or other body fluids. Like hepatitis B, hepatitis C can lead to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Hepatitis C is the most serious type of hepatitis. It's now one of the most common reasons for liver transplants in adults. Every year, thousands of people in the United States die from HCV. And there's no cure and no vaccine.An estimated 4.1 million Americans are currently infected with the virus. The most common way people become infected is through sharing drug paraphernalia such as needles and straws. People also get hepatitis C after having unprotected sex with an infected partner. Before 1990, many people got it through blood transfusions, but better blood screening and handling procedures now mean that this rarely happens.The medications currently used to treat hepatitis C are effective in controlling the disease in some people. However, hepatitis C treatments are not very easy to take, especially because some require frequent injections.
