Symptoms of hepatitis B

summary

Hepatitis B is also known as viral hepatitis B in clinic. It is a disease caused by hepatitis B virus. Its main clinical manifestations are body fatigue, loss of appetite, frequent nausea, vomiting, greasy food, hepatomegaly and abnormal liver function. Clinically, some cases had symptoms of fever and jaundice; However, a few cases can eventually become chronic, and can eventually develop cirrhosis or liver cancer; Severe cases can quickly progress to severe hepatitis; Other carriers of hepatitis B virus can be transformed into chronic hepatitis B. There are many symptoms of hepatitis B, including acute icteric hepatitis (or non icteric hepatitis), chronic hepatitis B, acute and chronic severe hepatitis B. The symptom that suffers from second liver tells everybody

Symptoms of hepatitis B

Jaundice: the liver is the center of bilirubin metabolism. Due to the intake, combination, secretion and excretion of bilirubin, the concentration of bilirubin in the blood increases. When the concentration of bilirubin in the blood increases, bilirubin is discharged from the urine, making the urine color darker. It is the earliest manifestation of jaundice. But hot sweating, lack of drinking water, some drugs can also cause changes in urine color, should pay attention to the difference. When the concentration of bilirubin in the blood continues to increase, it can cause yellowing of eyes and skin, which is called jaundice. Due to the disorder of bile acid excretion, the concentration of bile acid in the blood increases, and excessive bile acid deposits in the skin, which stimulates peripheral nerves and causes skin pruritus. Jaundice hepatitis patients have symptoms of yellow urine. The color of urine is light yellow at the beginning and deepens day by day. It is as thick as brown or soybean oil; Then the skin and sclera turned yellow. The more yellow the color of urine, the more serious the destruction of liver cells, the better the condition, the urine color gradually returned to normal.

Fatigue, lack of physical strength, easily tired. The reason may be the damage of liver function, the decrease of food intake, the disorder of food digestion and absorption, and the insufficient intake of nutrients. On the other hand, due to liver inflammation, impaired liver function, increased consumption, the intake of substances can not be fully metabolized, unable to meet the needs of the body. The third aspect may be the mental and psychological pressure caused by hepatitis B, which affects rest and sleep. Insomnia and dreaminess may be related to this.

Hepatosplenomegaly: due to inflammation, congestion, edema, cholestasis, hepatitis B often has hepatomegaly. If chronic inflammation does not heal, repeated attacks. Intrahepatic fibrous connective tissue hyperplasia, liver texture hardening. In the late stage, due to the destruction of a large number of hepatocytes, the fibrous tissue shrinks and the liver shrinks. In the early stage of acute or chronic hepatitis, there is no obvious splenomegaly. Later, splenomegaly may be caused by hyperplasia of splenic reticuloendothelial system, portal hypertension and splenic congestion. Persistent progressive splenomegaly is often indicative of cirrhosis.

matters needing attention

1. For the prevention of hepatitis B, the most important thing is to manage the source of infection and isolate hepatitis B patients irregularly. 2. It is equally important to cut off the transmission route of hepatitis B virus and strengthen health education and management. At the same time, we should prevent iatrogenic transmission and strengthen the management of blood products. 3. To protect the susceptible population, we should strengthen the research of hepatitis B vaccine and the injection of hepatitis B vaccine.
