Hepatitis

You should wait some time after stopping azithromycin before receiving immunizations. When studied, azithromycin inhibits the ability of the immune system to build a lasting response to vaccines, probably by altering the activity of macrophages and other antigen presenting cells and the expressions of cytokines, including TNF-alpha.

See "Azithromycin Modulates Murine Immune Responses to Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine and Inhibits Nasal Clearance of Bacteria"

While this is a different vaccine, it's reasonable to at least extrapolate that there may be a need for caution in coadministration of azithromycin and vaccines.

Azithromycin has a long half life in the body - almost 3 days - so you should give it some time before receiving the vaccine, I'd guess 2 weeks minimum, although it depends on your dosage and how long you've been taking the medication.

Hepatitis is a condition where liver cells get swollen, injured (technically inflamed) and damaged.

It could be happen due to many different causes

Viral Infections

Autoimmune

Alcohol

Medicines

Our defense system to fight against infections is called the immune system. It is programmed to destroy any foreign elements in the body...which logically most commonly are bacteria viruses etc

The Autoimmune Hepatitis is caused by a condition where the immune system wrongly identifies our own liver cells as intruders and starts attacking them...why this happens is not clearly understood...again as one might expect treating this kind of hepatitis means switching off the immune system...which essentially means allowing any infections to attack us freely.

Physicians try to strike a fine balance not switching off the immune system totally while reducing its efficacy...(using immunosupressant drugs)

Liver is the handler/cleaner/filter of all that enters our body...it is made for that but cannot handle Alcohol and some medicines even...viral infections also cause Hepatitis

Hepatitis due to infection might be treated using Antiviral medicines along medical support. Hepatitis due to Alcohol and drugs might possibly be treated by stopping the offending agent along medical support.

Unfortunately there is no successful treatment for Autoimmune Hepatitis which usually progresses though its pace might be slowed.

The portal circulation is a "strange" circulation because it consists of veins draining into capillaries, which drain into veins again.

There are very few side effects of the HBV vaccine and it is recommended by the CDC, who test the safety and effectiveness for vaccines in the US. See the link below for details from the CDC about what you should know about HBV vaccines.

For me, they did not hurt.

Yes. Any chemical "toxin" can cause damage to your liver, or Hepatitis which means inflammation of the liver due to in your case Toxic Hepatitis `secondary to ingesting Antifreeze.

Antifreeze has the chemical Ethylene Glycol in it. I would not suggest drinking any of it, as you will have more problems than just worrying about your liver.

As little as 100ml can prove fatal in an average sized adult, although there have been case reports of deaths from as little as 35ml.

The official definition for hepatitis C is " a form of viral hepatitis transmitted in infected blood, causing chronic liver disease. It was formerly called non-A, non-B hepatitis."

Maybe but not always. You need to review the definition of pre-existing conditions. Here are two actual definitions: (a) A condition that would have caused an ordinary prudent person to seek medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the effective date of coverage; (b) A condition for which medical advice, diagnosis, care or treatment was recommended or received during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the effective date of coverage; The key here is the timing issue. If two years ago you were diagnosed and were told you needed no treatment and did not need to see the doctor in the previous 12 months then it would not qualify as a pre-ex under these definitions. Remember though, it is not your word that is important; it is what your medical records say. If your doctor advised you have it checked every year, even though it may have been 18 months since you sought any treatment, it would still apply (see the wording of the first definition ��A condition that would have caused an ordinary prudent person to seek medical advice��). The recommendation to have it checked annually would generally meet the standard for a prudent person to seek medical attention.

When you first get exposed to Hepatitis B, it's called "accute". If the infection persists for more than 6 months, that's a "chronic" infection.

However, some people are able to clear the infection within those first 6 months and develop immunity. So if they get exposed to Hep B in the future, they won't catch it again.

A chronic infection can be dormant or active. When it is active it can be transmitted to others and it damages the liver.

The goal of treatment is to get the infection to a dormant, inactive state, not to "cure it".

The liver does regenerate, so the person would have to alter their lifestyle to make healthier choices. Such healthier choices have the ability to improve a person's prognosis. So it really depends on how well the infected individual takes care of themselves, as well as how well they adhere to their doctors advice regarding pharmaceutical treatment. Without treatment or a healthy lifestyle, the liver could be damaged in a little over a year.

Two weeks before any symptoms and one week after jaundice or symptoms are seen... Incubation period is 15-50 days adverage is 28 days after exposure. Hope this helps!

Yes, hepatitis cannot be eliminated from the body but only suppressed. If conditions are right, the virus can reassert itself and become active again.

Break up with her but stay her friend. That way you can always keep an eye on her and be there when she needs you. Good luck and God Bless:)

The hepatitis A virus is found in the faeces of infected people. It is spread because of poor personal hygiene. The most common causes of infection are contaminated food or water and person-to-person contact. In countries with poor sanitation, water can become contaminated. Food prepared or washed with contaminated water can also easily transmit the infection. Fruits, salads, raw vegetables and any uncooked foods are considered to be high risk, as are ice, iced drinks and ice cream. Food that comes into contact with contaminated seawater, for example, shellfish, can also transmit the infection. There have also been outbreaks of hepatitis A among intravenous drug users although other types of hepatitis (B and C) are usually of more concern in this group.

Alright, buckle up buttercup. Hepatitis A is like the annoying cousin that gives you flu-like symptoms and makes you feel like crap for a while. Hepatitis B is the sneaky one that can stick around for ages, causing liver damage without you even knowing it. And Hepatitis C is the real troublemaker, often hanging out undetected until it decides to wreak havoc on your liver. So, in a nutshell, A is a nuisance, B is a silent creeper, and C is the ultimate party crasher.

Hepatitis A is usually contracted by contaminated food. Although very contagious it is treatable and curable. Hepatitis C is typically contracted by drug users and sexually. It damages the liver tissue and commonly leads to Cirrhosis and Liver Cancer, but can be managed with treatment.

Hepatitis C can be classified as prevalent because of increasing number of people who finds out they are infected. This viral infection or disease could trigger inflammation of Liver.

There are five major types of viral hepatitis. The diseases, along with the antigen-antibody tests available to aid in diagnosis, are described
