The Link Between Medications and Dietary Supplements and the Development of Hepatitis

The development of hepatitis can also be caused by taking medications, their incorrect combination, or using dietary supplements.

According to WHO, hepatitis has affected about 2 billion people on the planet. This insidious disease can lead to very serious consequences.

Doctors call hepatitis an inflammation of the liver. When, due to cell damage, the functioning of the main filter of our body is disrupted. Essentially this is a group of diseases. They arise for different reasons and are treated differently. For example, hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, F and G are viral. The letter is a symbol for the virus that causes the disease.

– In fact, there are a lot of hepatitis, we say that the etiological factors are different factors. Firstly, the main thing is viral hepatitis, everyone knows A, B, C, D, there are a lot of toxic hepatitis, our Murmansk region is characterized by a high level of alcohol drinking, hence the development of alcoholic liver disease,” noted Zhanna, head of the gastroenterology department of the Murmansk Regional Hospital Tersinsky.

Not only alcohol and viruses, but also a number of autoimmune diseases and fatty liver disease are associated with inflammation. The development of hepatitis can also be caused by taking medications, their incorrect combination, or using dietary supplements.

“Many people take dietary supplements, this is also a “stop”, people, you can’t take too many dietary supplements, this can lead to drug-induced liver damage, including triggering various autoimmune mechanisms,” added Zhanna Tersinskikh.

In the case of hepatitis, it often happens that a person is unaware of his disease and can live with it for years. Meanwhile, an uncontrolled process may become irreversible.
