Question 1

hepa b how can be cured?

Accepted Answer

Very rarely cured: Current treatments can only supress viral replication and rarely cure at 3-5% after 4-5 years possibly because it integrates into the host dna.

Question 2

theres a medicine for hepa b

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes. Those medications are called antiviral.

Question 3

about hepa b there's a cure?

Accepted Answer

There's treatment.: While there's no cure for Hepatitis B, there are treatments that can prevent progression of illness to cirrhosis and cancer.  Discuss options with a Hepatologist to learn risks, benefits and expectations of treatment options.

Question 4

what is the diet for hepa b carrier?

Accepted Answer

Regular diet...: Chronic hepatitis b inactive carrier state means the hepatitis b virus is present but in a dormant, usually non-replicative state.  There is no specific diet instructions these patients, however, if the patient is overweight, or there is concomitant fatty liver changes, then a diet low in sugar, high fructose and fat is recommended.

Question 5

do minerals/mineral drops help in treating hepa b?

Accepted Answer

No: You are young and i would recommend seeing a liver specialist to determine if you have a chronic hepatitis b state that is  "active" or "inactive" to determine your future course and if you need to be treated with antivirals medications which have become extremely effective in suppressing hepatitis b or if you just need to have lab tests occasionally! minerals don't treat hepatitis b.

Question 6

are there any differences between true hepa and hepa-like filters?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Read the labels. Check consumer reports. Go to allergy and lung accredited websites to see which are recommended.

Question 7

im a carrier of hepa b, and i would like to work abroad as a nurse. is there any chances to work abroad? if yes, on what country? thanks a lot

Accepted Answer

Check laws: Without knowing the public health laws of other countries i can tell you that the most important consideration is whether your hepatitis is active. You should get a full evaluation from a GI specialist with a recommendation for working in patient care. You would get a hepatitis panel that shows antigen and antibody levels, liver function test, and a viral load count.

Question 8

i'm 45 yr old woman.9 mos ago i got hepa that progressed he stage4  i came out of it and i've been living clean since. what is my life expectancy?

Accepted Answer

I'm sorry, there are: really too many variables here to give you a meaningful answer. Your question suggests that you not only got hepatitis A but may have a degree of underlying liver disease due to toxins (alcohol/drugs). In general, hepatic encephalopathy is a bad prognostic sign but if you don't have serious chronic liver disease, it is potentially reversible.Your hepatologist can refine your prognosis for you.

Question 9

what is the cure for hepa b?

Accepted Answer

No reliable cure: Teens or adults who catch hepatitis B get sick, and then recover on their own, but about 5% become carriers and always have the virus. Babies who catch hepatitis B become carriers of the virus. The antiviral medications block the virus, so the patient has fewer and fewer numbers of virus if the treatment works. A few patients are called &quot;cured&quot; in that blood tests  don&#x27;t detect the virus any more.

Question 10

can i go abroad even i have hepa b?

Accepted Answer

Yes: While abroad, pay special attention to what goes in your mouth. You do not want any other liver-toxic germs (like hep a, leptospirosis, etc) if you already have hep b; fully cooked foods usually won't present a problem. Also, avoid alcohol or medications that can further damage your liver. Finally, should romance arise during your trip, use condoms. Hep b spreads much like hiv.
