Generally speaking hepatitis A prognosis is good. While the onset of hepatitis A radical, fierce and fast, like being, but as long as timely to have a good rest, nutrition and reasonable treatment, the general condition will improve very soon, most of them in 2 weeks after the onset of jaundice began to subside, gastrointestinal symptoms began to improve, After about a month and a half or so of rest and treatment, most patients can recover, will not be as easy as hepatitis B develop into chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis does not occur and primary liver cancer. The more immunity was no longer occur hepatitis A for the second time. Hepatitis B is all the more serious hazards in a class of hepatitis. In China, hepatitis B epidemic situation is very serious. According to the survey, China's hepatitis B infection rate of about 60%, that is, there are 700,000,000 people have been infected with hepatitis B virus. Hepatitis B surface antigen positive rate of about 10%, that is, there are 120,000,000 people carrying hepatitis B virus, of which there are quite a number of patients will develop cirrhosis and primary liver cancer. The majority of hepatitis C through blood transfusion or use of infected blood products. In the early 1990s, China's hepatitis C 90% by the use of blood transfusion and blood products cause. Later, to strengthen the management of blood and blood products, blood transfusion caused by the hepatitis C has been reduced by 80%. Occult Hepatitis C onset, the disease is relatively tired, the majority of patients with clinical symptoms of less serious, abnormal liver function mainly aminotransferase (ALT) light to moderate rise, only a very small number of jaundice patients. The high rate of chronic, poor treatment. It was reported that the chronic hepatitis C rate of 50% -60%, some even 80% of all chronic viral hepatitis in one of the highest rates of type. Chronic hepatitis C, about 20 percent develop liver cirrhosis, liver cirrhosis in 20% and will be developed into a primary liver cancer. Hepatitis D virus is a virus that only assist in the hepatitis B virus can be infected with the human body and cause disease. Although our country, hepatitis D-positive rate was only 1.15 percent, to 120,000,000 of the National Hepatitis B virus carriers as the base for calculation, China's small number of patients with hepatitis have as many as 140 million people. Hepatitis B carriers overlap hepatitis D virus infection, often severe acute hepatitis, or even develop into severe hepatitis. Hepatitis B virus carriers pregnant women, childbirth in the process of hepatitis B virus can be transmitted to the newborn. Newborns infected with hepatitis B virus, about 90% of them will be a continuing hepatitis B virus carriers, of which some people will enter adulthood develop into chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and primary liver cancer. Although there is no specific treatment for hepatitis B drug, but the state each year only for the treatment of hepatitis B spent on medical expenses over 300 billion. Hepatitis B can see the harm. After the incidence of hepatitis E and hepatitis A are basically similar, but the average is more important than the disease hepatitis, jaundice high incidence of hepatitis A slower than the restoration of the disease. Cholestatic-prone, that is, small intrahepatic bile duct (bile duct, said capillary) wall appeared edema, bile duct inside the solidification, the formation of embolism, resulting in jaundice can not be dissipated smoothly, so that the high index of jaundice. Some patients may occur secondary peak of jaundice. Pregnant women, especially in late pregnancy for women suffering from hepatitis E, the more serious consequences, the fatality rate can reach 20% -30%. Hepatitis has been in foreign countries by the end of 1994 by a scholar of patients with unexplained stool hepatitis and liver and feces of infected animals were detected with the virus, but the characteristics of the virus and hepatitis caused by clinical features to be further observation, research . Hepatitis G is early in 1995 the first American scholars found that post-transfusion hepatitis A and is global. According to research, hepatitis G in our country have a higher infection rate, but it can cause liver disease, are still controversial, some people believe that hepatitis G virus is a "virus crossing" or "bystander." TTV hepatitis, TTV was found by the end of 1997 with a new post-transfusion hepatitis-related virus. A preliminary study showed that, TTV many of the hepatitis B virus with similar characteristics can cause fulminant hepatitis, acute hepatitis, chronic hepatitis can cause chronic carriers. But the study has just started, remains to be seen.
