Which organ does hepatitis B affect?
The primary attack is on the organ affected by hepatitis, which is the liver. However it also depends upon the form of hepatitis A, B or C. The organ, liver, becomes inflamed and enlarged as the disease progresses. Since our bodies do not function within a vacuum, in time other organs can become involved. In acute cases of hepatitis the brain can be influenced by the disease; it can also takes its toll upon one's heart as the liver fails and the body weakens.
The function of the liver is to filter out toxins form the blood; when it no longer works effectively, as it is met to, the toxins and the viral contaminates from the hepatitis can cause issues of concern with other organs. For a while, one's lymph nodes may try to collect the toxins in an effort to protect the body, but the lymph nodes cannot do this for long.
Hepatitis left untreated can develop into liver cancer.
Why the hepatic blood carried to the liver before it enters the systemic circulation?
Hepatocytes destroy harmful chemicals that are present in the blood. The liver's macrophages remove bacteria and other debris from the passing blood which allows proper maintenance of sugar, fatty acids & amino acid concentration in the blood.
The liver is the key body organ involved in maintaining proper sugar, fatty acid, and amino acid concentration in the blood, and this system ensures that these substances pass through the liver before entering the systemic circulation. As blood percolates through the liver sinusoid's, some of the nutrients are removed to be stored or processed in various ways for release to the general circulation. At the same time, the hepatocytes are detoxifying alcohol and other possibly harmful chemicals present in the blood, and the liver's macrophages are removing bacteria and other debris from the passing blood.

Can you get hep. c from snorting cocaine with an infected person?
Yes, if you are injecting it with dirty needles. I have also heard that AIDS can be spread through the straws people use to snort cocaine. Cocaine makes your nose bleed, so if one person gets their blood on the straw, and then passes it to the next person, who also has a nosebleed, AIDS can be spread. This is fairly unlikely -- I mean, would you put something that had someone else's blood on it up your nose? But if you're really worried, then bring your own straw, and don't share it with anyone.
