Health
By CLAY WILLIAMS
A service of the
North Carolina Academy of Family Physicians
Hepatitis can be a very serious
disease that can hang on indefinite
ly in its milder form or can result in
cirrhosis of the liver, or even liver
cancer.
"Hepatitis" means inflammation
of the liver just as "tonsillitis"
means inflammation of the tonsils.
The disease can be caused by a
number of things -- some of them
infections like bacteria and viruses
and some from chemicals like
alcohol. There are, according to
Dr. Robert G. Townsend, Jr., a
Raeford family physician, some
anesthetic gases that can also cause
inflammation of the liver.
Viral hepatitis is a group of types
of hepatitis caused by several
specific viruses. The most common
one is type A, which used to be
called infectious hepatitis. Type B,
which used to be called serum
hepatitis, is the most serious. It was
catted serum hepatitis because it
was thought to be associated with
the transfusion of blood or drug
abuse or contamination of the
blood stream in some other man
ner.
According to Dr. Townsend,
people can have mild hepatitis and
still carry on -- especially if they
have type A. In type B, on the other
hand, about five percent of the
cases of the disease turn serious --
mostly in adults. You see. type A
and B are actually two different
viruses that are spread in different
ways. Their only similarity is that
they cause inflammation of the
liver.
Dr. Townsend said type A
hepatitis is more common because
it is more easily spread. He said
most of us probably have had the
disease in a mild form by the time
we reach middle age. Type A is
usually spread by living in the same
household with someone who has
it. Type B hepatitis, to the con
trary. is caused mostly by con
tamination of the blood stream and
can, in its most destructive form,
cause inflammation of the liver,
cirrhosis and, in some instances.
cancer. In addition it can leave its
victim a carrier of the disease -- a
condition for which there is no
cure.
The public is fairly well aware
these days that there is no effective
cure for viral diseases. And since
hepatitis A and B are caused by
viruses, they do not respond to
antibiotics. Now. however, a vac
cine has been developed that shows
promise of being highly effective in
immunizing against type B hepa
titis virus. The vaccine, made from
the blood of carriers of the type B
virus, has been on the market since
July 1 of this year. Trouble is the
vaccine is so expensive that it
probably will be some time before
many high risk people can afford it.
A series of three injections costs in
the neighborhood of $120. But
when you consider that it takes over
a year to make the vaccine, it is
little wonder that it costs so much.
It has to go through an elaborate
purification process and a number
of steps are necessary to kill the
hepatitis virus. Still, the vaccine
has been shown to be very effective
to date among the highest risk
groups who have received it.
A patient who gets viral hepatitis
may or may not develop yellow
jaundice, but is more apt to with
type B. It is called yellow jaundice
because it causes the white of the
eves and the skin to turn yellow.
Other symptoms include fever,
nausea and vomiting, pain" in the
upper right abdomen over the area
of the liver, loss of appetite and a
general "feel bad" feeling. A
person may lose his taste for
cigarettes if he is a smoker.
Jaundice comes about when in
flammation prevents the liver from
properly handling pigments in red
blood cells. As these cells pass
through the liver they are changed
and are excreted into the bile
system and out the gastrointestinal
tract. When the liver swells, as it
does when it is inflamed, the
pigments back up into the blood
stream causing the skin and white
of the eyes to turn yellow and the
urine dark.
