Hepatitis is a viral infection that affects the liver, often resulting in painful inflammation and, in rare cases, scarring, cancer, and organ failure. There are several varieties of the virus, but the most common are types A, B, and C. While hep A is most often spread through food and water contaminated with infected fecal matter, hep B is spread through sexual contact, from mother to fetus, and through the exchange of contaminated blood. Hep C is the most dangerous of the three varieties, resulting in 15,000 deaths in the U.S. each year. In the U.S. today, it is most often spread through the use of injected drugs; before blood screening tests were put in place, it was often spread through blood transfusions. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Americans between the ages of 47 and 67 who were exposed to contaminated blood account for three-quarters of the 4 million Americans infected with hep C. Everyone in that age group is urged to get tested to see if they carry the virus. For most people, hepatitis B passes, without causing lasting health problems. But 15 to 25 percent of the 1.25 million people in the U.S. who have chronic hep B will develop progressive liver disease, leading to cirrhosis, liver cancer, or liver failure. In contrast, it's not known how many people come down with hepatitis A every year, since in the vast majority of cases the person doesn't have any symptoms or need medical attention; but about 3,600 cases are reported annually. There are vaccines for hep A and B, as well as a combination vaccine that prevents both. Since they were introduced, the incidence of hepatitis A has plummeted 90%. and incidence of acute hepatitis B has fallen by 81%. Unfortunately, there is not a vaccine for hepatitis C, but better screening during blood transfusions has helped reduce risk here, as well. More than 100 million Americans have been given the hepatitis B and hepatitis A vaccines. Have you?

Anyone born between 1945 and 1965 should add "hepatitis C screening" to their list of things to ask their doctor about. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about three million Baby Boomers are living with hepatitis C, and most of them don't even know they have the disease. Chances are Boomers picked up the infection from blood transfusions before today's current blood-screening procedures were in place. Or sometimes, from shared needles or other drug paraphernalia. And symptoms can take decades to appear. That's why the CDC recommends that all Baby Boomers get a blood test for hepatitis C. If you are diagnosed before symptoms appear, you have several treatment options that may prevent the most serious complications. Waiting until after symptoms appear may mean you've already developed serious health problems, such as cirrhosis or even liver cancer. Besides Baby Boomers, other people who are at risk for hepatitis C include: Healthcare workers who come in contact with infected people or blood. Anyone who gets a piercing or tattoo from contaminated equipment. Anyone who shares toothbrushes, razors and other personal items with someone who has hep C. And those who routinely have unprotected sex with numerous partners. While transmission via sexual contact is rare, it is possible, especially among those who already have a sexually transmitted disease. Unfortunately, there is no vaccine against hepatitis C and there is no cure once you have it. Your best protection is to avoid contact with blood whenever possible; abstain from intravenous drug use; make sure tattoo shops are licensed and clean before getting a tattoo or piercing; and always practice safe sex, especially if you're not in a monogamous relationship.

Just click play. Transcript: Hepatitis A is an acute liver disease caused by a virus. It can cause serious gastrointestinal distress,... Hepatitis A is an acute liver disease caused by a virus. It can cause serious gastrointestinal distress, among other symptoms, and is rarely fatal. Thankfully, there is now a hepatitis A vaccine that prevents the disease and in the U.S. new cases have dropped by 90% since 1995. But it's still worth knowing about how it's transmitted, and what to look out for just in case you do get it. Hepatitis A is most commonly transmitted through fecal contamination, if, for example, an infected person forgets to wash his hands after using the bathroom, then touches food that someone eats. The virus can also be transmitted by sexual contact and through contaminated blood-most often from sharing needles or personal hygiene products, such as a toothbrush or a razor, with an infected person. In Central and South America, Eastern Europe, and parts of Asia, hep A can contaminate drinking water, as well as fruits, vegetables, fish or shellfish-even dairy products. When not fully cooked, these foods can transmit hep A. Not everyone develops symptoms. But if you do, 2 to 6 weeks after infection, you may get hit with nausea, vomiting, fever, fatigue, lower right abdominal pain and swelling of the liver. Dark urine, clay colored feces and jaundice are less common symptoms of Hep A. About 15% of people have what's called relapsing hepatitis A and feel ill-off and on--for up to 6 months. Fortunately, most people don't require treatment beyond bed rest and drinking plenty of fluids. Most cases of hepatitis A clear up without any lasting liver damage. And after one infection, you have life-long immunity to the virus. However, 20% of people who get hepatitis A are hospitalized and between 3 and 6 of every 1,000 people who catch it die. If you have acute gastrointestinal problems, plus fever, see your doctor for a full diagnosis. The single best way to prevent hep A is to get vaccinated. Children should get their first shot at 12 months and the second within in 18 months. But if you didn't receive the inoculation as a child, you can get vaccinated for the first time at any age. A booster shot every 10 years is recommended.

Understanding the difference between acute and chronic hepatitis B can be a little tricky. Luckily, this video can make it a little easier. Transcript: If your symptoms of yellowing skin and eyes, dark urine, vomiting and abdominal pain have led your doctor... If your symptoms of yellowing skin and eyes, dark urine, vomiting and abdominal pain have led your doctor to diagnose you with hepatitis B, the next thing you'll learn is whether it's acute or chronic. Chronic hep B is a lifelong condition, compared to its acute form, which is a short-lived infection. A blood test can check for antibodies to determine which form you have. Antibodies are the disease fighters that your immune system cranks out when an infection enters your body. For hepatitis B there are two varieties-one is called a surface antibody and indicates acute hep B. That means the disease will run its course and your liver will not be permanently damaged. The other is a core antibody and signals chronic hep B. The diagnosis of chronic hepatitis B is most certain if it turns out you have both types of antibodies in your blood. Chronic hep B is a life-long illness which can be managed, but there is no cure. Children, especially those born to mothers with hep B, are most at risk: 90% of infants infected during the first year of life develop chronic hep B. Chronic hepatitis B is treated with interferon and antivirals to slow liver damage. In severe cases, a liver transplant may be needed-but that liver, too, can become badly damaged. For tips on preventing a hep B infection, check out other videos in this series.

Hepatitis, a viral infection that attacks the liver, comes in many forms. The three main types are hepatitis A, B and C. Treatments for each type vary depending on the severity of the infection. Hepatits A, for example, is usually mild. There are no medications to treat the infection itself, and your best therapy is to rest, drink plenty of fluids, and eat small, bland, low fat meals, to relieve nausea and vomiting. The virus almost always clears up on its own, and the liver usually heals completely in a month or two. Hepatitis B and C also may trigger an acute illness - like hepatitis A-and go away on their own without causing any long-term damage. But they may also cause no noticeable symptoms at all and become chronic-and it may take decades before symptoms show up. By the time they do a person may have extensive liver damage and face cirrhosis, liver failure or liver cancer. Once diagnosed, chronic hepatitis B can be treated with a combination of interferon and nucleoside/nucleotide analogues-you may know them better as treatments for HIV. Hepatitis C medications include a combination of pegylated interferon alfa injections and ribavirin pills. In the most severe cases of chronic hep B or C, a liver transplant may be necessary, but continued antiviral treatment is generally needed after the procedure to avoid damage to the new organ. It's smart for people with Hep C to get vaccinated against hep A and B; you can't risk a double liver infection and you are at increased risk of those forms of hepatitis.
