Is there a cure for chronic Hepatitis B? |
Is there a cure for chronic Hepatitis B? An acute infection usually goes away on its own without treatment. Some people have no symptoms. Most people who develop symptoms feel better in 2 to 3 weeks and recover completely after 4 to 8 weeks. Other people may take longer to recover. Once an acute infection is over, you are no longer contagious. You also develop antibodies against HBV that provide lifelong protection against future infection. Most people who have hepatitis B have acute hepatitis B and do not develop chronic hepatitis B. Chronic infection occurs when the hepatitis B virus continues to be present in your liver and blood for 6 months or more. Chronic hepatitis B puts you at increased risk for developing serious liver diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma). When you have chronic HBV, you can easily spread the disease. An estimated 1.25 million Americans have chronic hepatitis B. http://health.yahoo.com/ency/healthwise/... i don`t think theres a 100%cure. you cure the illness with antibiotics but i think that your still a carrier? there is no cure for Hep B If the person has not undergone treatment, that would be the next step in trying to cure it. But I don't think it's called "chronic" until treatment has been undertaken, but failed to get rid of the virus. . there is some hope. seems antiviral chemotherapy is helping a few percentages where hepatitis b is concerned. the medications are interferon and ribavirin. good luck hcv advocate |
