You probably mean hepatitis – this is simply a condition in which the liver is inflamed and damaged. It is difficult to say whether this can be cured without knowing the details of your case. There are different kinds of hepatitis, and in some, the damage is irreversible.
In other cases, the hepatitis may be cured, or the liver might even recover on its own, as long as the cause of the hepatitis is removed.
Hepatitis could be caused by any number of factors. Viral infections are among the most common causes of hepatitis. You have probably heard of hepatitis A, B, and C. These are different kinds of hepatitis, each caused by a different virus. There are also hepatitis D, E, F, and G, and certain complications with multiple viruses, such as hepatitis B with D. There are other viruses that could also cause hepatitis, even though this is not the primary condition caused by the virus. The viruses that cause yellow fever, mumps, and Epstein-Barr syndrome can all cause hepatitis. Each type of viral hepatitis is different, and therefore the treatment and recovery process also differs. The severity of individual cases varies too. Some cases require no medical treatment, merely management of the condition while the patient naturally recovers, while others require medical treatment to prevent the patient’s condition from worsening. Another common cause of hepatitis is alcoholism. Heavy alcohol consumption over a long period of time can damage the liver and cause hepatitis. In some cases, this type of hepatitis too may be mild and self limiting, but in other cases, it could be fatal and requires major medical intervention. Other factors that can cause hepatitis include gallstones that end up blocking the bile duct. Certain cancers could also have the same effect, and certain metabolic disorders and autoimmune disorders can also cause hepatitis.
There are numerous drugs that are known to be the cause for hepatitis. In some cases, this might be a known and acceptable risk when treating certain dangerous medical conditions. At other times however, abuse or careless use of certain common drugs such as paracetamol and ibuprofen can lead to hepatitis. It is therefore always advisable to avoid popping pills casually without a prescription.
If you have hepatitis, your doctor is the best person to guide you with regard to your treatment and recovery. Basic precautions such as abstinence from alcohol and dietary modification will help, but your doctor will provide more specific guidance.
