### Types of Hepatitis
Dr. Rawat commonly manages the following:
- **Hepatitis A**: Spread through contaminated food/water; usually self-limiting.
- **Hepatitis B**: Transmitted via blood, sexual contact, or from mother to child; can become chronic.
- **Hepatitis C**: Blood-borne; often chronic and a leading cause of liver cirrhosis.
- **Hepatitis D**: Occurs only with Hepatitis B; more severe.
- **Hepatitis E**: Water-borne; risky during pregnancy.
- **Autoimmune & Drug-Induced Hepatitis**: Non-viral causes requiring specific management.
### Common Symptoms
- Fatigue, loss of appetite, and nausea.
- Jaundice (yellowing of skin and eyes).

- Ultrasound, FibroScan, or advanced imaging.
- Liver biopsy in select cases for accurate assessment.
Early and accurate diagnosis helps prevent long-term damage.
### Best Treatment Approach
Treatment depends on the type and stage of hepatitis:
**Acute Hepatitis (A & E)**: Supportive care, rest, hydration, and monitoring; most recover fully.
**Chronic Hepatitis B & C**:
- Antiviral medications to suppress or eliminate the virus.
- Regular monitoring of liver function and cancer screening.
- Lifestyle modifications (alcohol cessation, healthy diet, exercise).
