Whether patients with liver disease are contagious? Liver disease is caused by a variety of reasons for liver cell injury collectively. At present, there is a common cause of liver disease virus, alcoholic, drug-induced, toxic, immune, vascular, metabolic, genetic, such as bacterial, viral liver disease that only a certain infectious. In viral hepatitis, influenza, hepatitis E is through the digestive tract (I) spread to other viral hepatitis, such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C through blood or the main mother to child transmission, not the normal transmission of life.

A good time to get treatment highly effective, and not grasp the opportunity to be a waste of resources. We must seize the opportunities by experienced physicians to determine, based on the principle that: normal liver function, B observation of super-carriers of the disease-free anti-retroviral therapy is not suitable, HBVDNA positive, ALT greater than normal, more than double the upper limit can be Consider the application of anti-retroviral therapy; have cirrhosis of the liver function of patients, regardless of how the choice should be anti-viral treatment, the condition that specific program. How to prevent hepatitis B virus infection? The most effective preventive measure is the injection of hepatitis B vaccine.
