Hepatitis

Hepatitis is an inflammatory process in the liver. The main causes are infection with a virus, autoimmune pathology, and the toxic effects of drugs or alcohol. There are 7 known types of viral hepatitis: A, B, C, D, E, F and G, of which the most common are A, B and C. Sometimes the virus leaves the body after the acute stage of the disease, but it can also become chronic. Dangerous consequences of hepatitis are cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Acute liver infection manifests itself in the form of jaundice, constant fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, fever, lack of appetite and abdominal cramps.

Hepatitis diagnosis abroad

The presence of the virus in the blood is determined by tests. If chronic hepatitis B or C is suspected, a biopsy is performed. Other diagnostic methods include paracentesis (testing abdominal fluid to determine the cause of its accumulation), elastography (measures the level of elasticity of the liver using ultrasound), and surrogate marker analysis (to assess the development of cirrhosis and fibrosis).

Hepatitis treatment abroad

Hepatitis treatment begins with a change in the patient's lifestyle. A balanced diet and alcohol exclusion are recommended, and medications are prescribed to relieve symptoms. Hepatitis B is treated with interferons (antiviral agents) and drugs such as Lamivudine and Adefovir Dipivoxil. With virus C, combination therapies based on the virus subtype are traditionally prescribed using a number of new drugs:

  • "Simeprevir";
  • Sofosbuvir;
  • Daclatasvir;
  • a combination of Ledipasvir and Sofosbuvir;
  • combination of Ombitasvir, Paritaprevir and Ritonavir, with or without Dasabuvir;
  • a combination of Sofosbuvir and Velpatasvir.

They are aimed at stopping virus replication and give good results in a short period of time.

Chinese clinics use traditional medicine: herbal medicine and acupuncture.

With viruses B, C or D, liver failure (impaired liver function) may develop. If the organ is severely damaged, it needs to be transplanted.

Liver transplantation in the treatment of hepatitis abroad

Statistics show a high survival rate for patients who have undergone liver transplantation abroad: within 5 years, 90-80% survive, respectively. A healthy liver is taken from both living and dead people, but foreigners need to come to the clinic with a donor. The waiting lists for organ transplants from dead donors are always very long.

Orthotopic transplantation is used as the main method of surgery (when a new organ is installed instead of the old one in the same place). Due to the use of intraoperative imaging, a large vein located behind the liver is preserved using surgical clamps. After surgery, the donor's liver regenerates and grows rapidly to a size sufficient to perform its functions in full.

Good afternoon. I went to India to the Artemis clinic to treat hepatitis C. I want to thank the clinic staff and Dr. Kapil Jamwal, and the accompanying doctor, Jay. They are friendly, responsive, and caring. Without the support of the service, I would never have dared to go to a foreign country. A month after the first course of antiviral therapy, I was tested, and miraculously, it was negative. I am taking medication to consolidate the result.

After arriving at the airport, I was met by a doctor-coordinator. He accompanied me to the hotel and then to all diagnostic procedures. Overall, everything went well medically. I have some questions, but no one gives a consultation for free, after all. I received recommendations, the fulfillment of which, as the consulting doctor told me, will allow me to recover and forget about the illness.

After contacting the service, a competent coordinator accompanied me at all stages of treatment. A driver met me at the airport. He drove me to the hotel. In the morning, a messenger from Medanta escorted me to the hospital. At the hospital, I was met by a translator. He was with me during the tests and the doctor's visit. This is very important when you are in a foreign country. After purchasing the drugs I needed, the translator helped with the transfer to the airport. The car was provided by the hospital. Thanks to the service for the good organization of my trip.
