Unfortunately no. Liver transplant is the only option considering his current health status, which can save his life. Prayers for his good health. If affordability is issue, you can try at nearby government institutions like aiims. But keep in mind that time is running out rapidly, so you have to act quickly. Hope this will help.

4 Ways To Raise Awareness This World Hepatitis Day!

4 Ways To Raise Awareness This World Hepatitis Day!
World Hepatitis Day is recognized annually on July 28 to raise awareness of hepatitis, a condition that affects over 325 million people worldwide, and what steps are to be taken to strengthen the efforts in screening, prevention and control of the disease. The theme this year is Finding the Missing Millions . The campaign aims to increase global awareness and tackle the barriers to diagnosis so that not a single individual has to live with the condition without knowing.

Here are a few ways to spread awareness among the common people on this World Hepatitis Day

Identify the risk factors

Although everyone is prone to hepatitis, it is more common in some patients than in others. Different types of hepatitis A, B and C may affect people differently. Therefore, identifying the risk factors is crucial.

Hepatitis A is usually transmitted through contaminated food and water ingestion or contact with an infected person. It is more likely to affect people, who

Are young

Have been infected in the past or are not vaccinated

Reside in places with lack of safe drinking water and/poor sanitation

Live with someone who is infected

Have sexual relations with someone with hepatitis A

Use drugs recreationally

Hepatitis C and B are primarily transmitted through unprotected sex, during childbirth, and the use of contaminated needles. It is mostly seen in people, who

Are HIV+

Have a family history of hepatitis B

Are sexually involved with multiple partners

Use illicit drugs

Have a chronic liver or kidney disease

Works in healthcare and are possibly exposed to blood

Have been pierced with an infected needle

Hepatitis C mostly affects people, who

Have a history of organ donation or blood transfusion

Inject illicit drugs

Were born to HCV+ mothers

Works in healthcare and are likely to encounter needle-stick accidents

The common symptoms of hepatitis include loss of appetite, jaundice, abdominal pain, fever, dark urine, fatigue, vomiting and nausea, and diarrhoea. However, some people may be asymptotic. Identifying at-risk patients and encouraging screening can help lower the risk.

Encourage vaccinations

There are effective and safe vaccines for hepatitis B and A. CDC recommends the vaccine for hepatitis B for infants at birth and the vaccine for hepatitis A for 1-year old children. The series of vaccine for hepatitis B needs to be completed by 6-18 months of age. Although there is no vaccine for HCV at present, individuals can avoid certain activities that expose them to the infection to lower the risk. It is particularly important to avoid the use of injected drugs.

Provide educational resources

Most often, a person living with hepatitis is unaware of the condition unless symptoms start showing up. Screenings and vaccinations must be encouraged. There are many ways to raise awareness and spread the word through pamphlets, posters, social media, or by directly interacting with patients and encouraging others to do the same.

Participate actively

Even though the world observes World Hepatitis Day once a year, you can do your bit and be involved throughout the year to help raise awareness through different means. If you have any queries or questions concerning hepatitis, feel free to consult a doctor. Go for regular screening and follow-ups to keep track of your health.

World Hepatitis Day is a great opportunity to promote awareness worldwide. Nevertheless, it is important to take part in such campaigns actively all around the year to promote vaccinations and screenings. The above steps can help you spread the word and reduce the risk of hepatitis globally.

Tips To Prevent And Control The Spread Of Viral Hepatitis!
Viral hepatitis is a leading cause of deaths and disability across the globe. A growing public health concern, the disease affects millions of people every year. An estimated 500 million are infected with chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C. Each year, nearly 1 million succumb to the disease due to complications arising from hepatitis, including liver cancer. Many people are residing with the disease while several others are at an increased risk.

Most people with a history of HCV or HBV are unaware of the chronic infections and hence, are at risk of developing complications that are more serious and unknowingly spreading the infection to others. Some people living are more likely to contract viral hepatitis. This includes those residing in areas with lack of or poor sanitation services, unsafe drinking water etc. Type C and type B viral hepatitis are commonly observed in patients who have had blood transfusions and organ transplants, as well as those working in healthcare settings.

Considering the staggering figures, it has become extremely important to adopt certain measures to raise awareness among people, and encourage safe practice and good hygiene to avoid and check the transmission of hepatitis. The primary prevention strategies include

Advocacy and increasing awareness of various types of viral hepatitis infections to control community transmission

Make vaccines available to all in order to encourage the prevention of HBV and HAV infections

Application of blood safety strategies the supply of blood depending on voluntary blood donations, public education on donor selection, blood donation, and screening of donated blood, blood components used for transfusion

Precautions to limit the spread of infection in the community and healthcare setting to avoid viral hepatitis and related diseases

Safe injection practices to protect against HCV and HBV transmission

Practice safe sex by limiting the number of sexual partners to one, using contraceptives to ward off infection transmission

Use of clean, needle and syringes to administer drugs intravenously

Adoption of certain occupational safety measures to avoid transmission among healthcare workers

Use and distribution of safe drinking water and food to prevent HEV and HAV infections

Secondary prevention strategy includes early diagnosis of the disease. It offers the best scope for effective medical intervention and prevention of further transmission. Early screening and diagnosis also allow the patient to adopt precautionary measures to improve immunity, specifically by abstaining from tobacco, alcohol and certain drugs, as well as control the spread of the disease to others.

Although viral hepatitis is curable, access to treatment remains an issue in many parts of the world. Much needs to be done guarantee availability of and access to low-cost, reliable diagnostics and effective, safe treatment regimens, particularly in those regions of the world that are resource-constrained.
