Hepatitis is a group of viral infections that affect the liver causing acute/chronic inflammation which eventually may lead to liver failure or cancer and ultimately death. The B, C, and D group are blood borne and/or sexually transmitted or by vertical transmission from mother to child. Hepatitis C viral infection (HCV) is notoriously known to cause chronic liver disease and the risk for liver hepatoma/cancer is much higher than for HBV.\nJust like most viral infections, there is no definite cure by antiviral or antibiotic therapy. However, some antiviral drugs such as lamivudine (sometimes used to treat HIV) may hold some promise but no definite cure. It is important to note that most people do not die eventually from chronic hepatitis since it is a chronic disease. They may die of other causes. If you are sexually-active, also consider protecting your spouse/partner from picking up the infection by using appropriate barrier methods. \n\nI would advice you go on a high carbohydrate diet/low protein diet; take multivitamins supplements. have your doctor keep an eye on your liver function tests say on a yearly basis. Most other drugs used as supportive therapy are fraught with bad side effects.

Hi Max - Of course this is a question for your doctor.  No one here is qualified to give medical advice.  That said, there are some natural remedies that many believe are helpful in detoxifying/cleansing like Milk thistle, and the such.  Go to your local health food store and ask for something that detoxifies the liver.  BTW, congrats on getting sober!  That is truly a grace from God.  Blessings to you!

Here is a bunch of information for you- D\nFatty liver is an excessive accumulation of a type of fat (triglyceride) inside the liver cells. \nIn the United States and other Western countries, the most common causes of fatty liver are alcoholism, obesity, diabetes, and elevated serum triglyceride levels. Other causes include malnutrition, hereditary disorders of metabolism (such as the glycogen storage diseases (see Muscular Dystrophy and Related Disorders: Introduction and Hereditary Metabolic Disorders: Glycogen Storage Diseases), and drugs (such as corticosteroids, tetracyclineSome Trade Names \nACHROMYCIN V\nTETRACYN\nSUMYCIN\n, and aspirinSome Trade Names \nECOTRIN\nASPERGUM\n). The mechanism by which these diseases or factors cause fat to accumulate within liver cells is not known. Simply eating a high-fat diet, for example, does not produce a fatty liver. One possible explanation is that these diseases or factors slow the rate at which fat is processed (metabolized) and excreted by the body. The resulting buildup of fat within the body, according to this theory, is then stored inside the liver cells.\n\nSometimes the cause of fatty liver is not clear, especially when it occurs in newborns; however, it is likely to be a defect in the mitochondria of the liver cells.\n\nIn some people, a fatty liver not due to alcohol abuse or drugs and toxins but associated with obesity, diabetes mellitus, and raised serum triglycerides will progress to scarring (fibrosis) and cirrhosis, possibly because of underlying inflammation. This type of fatty liver is sometimes referred to as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis.\n  \nKnown Causes of Fatty Liver \n\nObesity \nDiabetes \nChemicals and drugs (such as alcohol, corticosteroids, tetracyclines, valproate, methotrexate, carbon tetrachloride, and yellow phosphorus) \nMalnutrition and a low-protein diet \nPregnancy \nVitamin A toxicity \nBypass surgery of the small intestine \nCystic fibrosis (most likely accompanied by malnutrition) \nHereditary defects in glycogen, galactose, tyrosine, or homocystine metabolism \nMedium-chain aryl dehydrogenase deficiency \nCholesterol esterase deficiency \nPhytanic acid storage disease (Refsum's disease) \nAbetalipoproteinemia \nReye's syndrome \n\nSymptoms and Diagnosis\n\nFatty liver usually produces no symptoms. In rare cases, however, it results in jaundice (a yellowish discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes), nausea, vomiting, pain, and abdominal tenderness.\n\nA physical examination that reveals an enlarged liver without any other symptoms suggests fatty liver. Liver function tests are also performed to determine if there is a liver abnormality, such as inflammation (see Liver Function Tests), which sometimes accompanies the extra fat in the liver cells and can be associated with the development of cirrhosis in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Excess fat in the liver can be detected on abdominal ultrasound. The diagnosis may be confirmed by a liver biopsy, in which a doctor inserts a long hollow needle through the skin to obtain a small piece of liver tissue for examination under a microscope (see Diagnostic Tests for Liver and Gallbladder Disorders: Biopsy of the Liver).\n\nPrognosis and Treatment\n\nAlthough excessive fat in the liver may not in itself be a serious problem (the fat can disappear, for example, if the person stops drinking), its underlying cause might be. For example, repeated liver injury from toxic substances such as alcohol may eventually progress from fatty liver to cirrhosis (severe scarring of the liver). Therefore, treatment of fatty liver aims at minimizing or eliminating the underlying cause of the disorder.\n\nLast reviewed/revised February 1, 2003\n  \n  \n Liver Degenerative Disease\n\nWhen compared to other health conditions, it is striking how little attention is given to diseases of the liver, particularly considering the rising level of concern about health and health-related environmental issues.

Horrible, fat is the worse of all of above, the liver has to work ten times as much and yet reject it, then it will deposit lipids around the walls of the arteries creating a dangerous build up, starch creates minor problems and protein is a not to worry about, just stay away from those hamburgers..☺

Hi There\n\nHere are some methods to get healed. Be sure to do a colon and liver cleanse. You must clean out the toxins and you'll be on your way to a healthy body.\n\nause\nThe most common cause of hepatitis is a virus that can occur in five potential forms: A, B, C, D, or E. Other causes include excessive alcohol consumption, drug abuse (including pharmaceutical drugs, such as acetaminophen), overexposure to chemicals, and, sometimes, as a reaction to properly prescribed medications. \n\nIn recent years, hepatitis C has been on the increase. It is most frequently caused as a result of blood transfusions. Typically, people with hepatitis C are identified either because they have abnormal liver tests or because of a hepatitis C antibody test. A positive test does not necessarily mean serious liver disease, however. People with hepatitis C may have no liver disease, a mild form of chronic hepatitis, or a more serious form of hepatitis that may progress over a number of years to cirrhosis. The usual indications are a positive antibody test for the hepatitis C virus, abnormal liver tests for more than six to twelve months, and a liver biopsy that shows chronic active hepatitis. Approximately 20% of patients chronically infected with the hepatitis C virus will go on to develop cirrhosis. \n\nNote: Infectious hepatitis can be easily spread two weeks before and one week after jaundice appears. The feces of people with hepatitis contain the virus. Therefore, very strict toilet hygiene and hand and cloth washing should be observed during this time.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNatural Cures\n\nAromatherapy: Rosemary can help stimulate liver function. \n\nDiet: Follow a diet low in protein and high in fresh vegetables to minimize stress on the liver. Also eat small meals throughout the day, and avoid foods such as refined sugars, alcohol, and caffeine, which cause stress on the liver, and be sure to drink plenty of filtered water. Drinking fresh lemon juice water every morning and evening followed by vegetable juice is also recommended to help liver function. Easily digested grains, such as millet, buckwheat, and quinoa, are also good food choices. \n\nEnemas: Three warm enemas administered daily can help boost liver function. \n\nHerbs: The liver-cell regenerative properties of herbs such as milk thistle and licorice can be helpful. Take 1/2 teaspoon of this mixture three times a day. Tumeric combined with milk thistle has also been shown to help alleviate the symptoms of hepatitis B. \n\nHydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. \n\nJuice Therapy: The following juice combinations can be helpful: beet, carrot, and wheat grass juice; or garlic, burdock, flax, and black currants.\n\nNutritional Supplementation: Supplement with vitamin C, beta carotene, liver glandulars, milk thistle extract, vitamin B complex, adrenal glandulars, lipotropic factors, pantothenic acid, free-form amino acids, betaine hydrochloric acid (HCL), multi-enzymes, and evening primrose oil.\n\nAlternative Professional Care\nIf your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating hepatitis: Ayurveda, Acupuncture, Detoxification Therapy, Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, and Oxygen Therapy\n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers

A fatty liver can be caused by many things, including alcohol, certain drugs, chemicals, starvation, obesity, diabetes and certain diseases.  Fatty liver is a sign of something wrong going on in your body.  You need to find out what is wrong and fix it otherwise you risk permanent liver damage, which can lead to death (you can't live without a liver).  Fortunately, fatty liver is completely reversible, so as long as the damage does not progress.

that should be jaundice and diabetes.....\n\nWhat are the symptoms of jaundice?\nThe following are the most common symptoms of jaundice. However, each baby may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: \n\n*yellow coloring of the baby's skin - usually beginning on \nthe face and moving down the body\n\n*poor feeding or lethargy \n\nSymptoms of jaundice may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your baby's physician for a diagnosis.\nhttp://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/uvahealth/peds_newborn/ncomjaun.cfm\n\nJaundice can turn the skin and sclerae yellow. In addition, stool can become light in color, even clay-colored because of the absence of bilirubin that normally gives stool its brown color. The urine may turn dark or brownish in color. This occurs when the bilirubin that is building up in the blood begins to be excreted from the body in the urine. Just as in feces, the bilirubin turns the urine brown.\n\nBesides the cosmetic issues of looking yellow and having dark urine and light stools, the symptom that is associated most frequently associated with jaundice or cholestasis is itching, medically known as pruritus. The itching associated with jaundice and cholestasis can sometimes be so severe that it causes patients to scratch their skin “raw,” have trouble sleeping, and, rarely, even to commit suicide.\n\nIt is the disease causing the jaundice that causes most problems associated with jaundice. Specifically, if the jaundice is due to liver disease, the patient may have symptoms or signs of liver disease or cirrhosis. (Cirrhosis represents advanced liver disease.) The symptoms and signs of liver disease and cirrhosis include fatigue, swelling of the ankles, muscle wasting, ascites (fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity), mental confusion or coma, and bleeding into the intestines.\n\nIf the jaundice is caused by blockage of the bile ducts, no bile enters the intestine. Bile is necessary for digesting fat in the intestine and releasing vitamins from within it so that the vitamins can be absorbed into the body. Therefore, blockage of the flow of bile can lead to deficiencies of certain vitamins. For example, there may be a deficiency of vitamin K that prevents proteins that are needed for normal clotting of blood to be made by the liver, and, as a result, uncontrolled bleeding may occur.\nhttp://www.medicinenet.com/jaundice/page2.htm\n\nWhat Are the Symptoms of Jaundice?\n\nSymptoms of jaundice include:\n\nYellow discoloring of the skin, whites of the eyes and mucus membranes \nDark urine \nNausea \nItching \nLight-colored stool (white, gray or yellow) \nAbdominal pain or swelling \nhttp://www.webmd.com/content/article/90/100606.htm\n\nJaundice symptoms\nExtreme weakness, headache, fever\nThe symptoms of jaundice are extreme weakness, headache, fever, loss of appetite, severe constipation, nausea, and yellow discoloration of the eyes, tongue, skin, and urine. \n\nDull pain in the liver region\nThe patient may also feel a dull pain in the liver region. Obstructive jaundice may be associated with intense itching.\nhttp://www.home-remedies-for-you.com/remedy/Jaundice.html\n\nSome diabetes symptoms include:\n\nFrequent urination \nExcessive thirst \nExtreme hunger \nUnusual weight loss \nIncreased fatigue \nIrritability \nBlurry vision \nhttp://paulspicks.com/sponsors/prds/dia.asp\n\nCommon symptoms of diabetes are increased thirst, frequent urination, increased hunger, unusual weight loss, fatigue, and irritability. These symptoms are caused by the body's response to high blood sugar levels.\n\nOther signs of type 2 diabetes may include:\n\nFrequent infections and cuts and bruises that heal slowly. \nBlurred vision. \nTingling or numbness in the hands or feet. \nSkin, gum, or bladder infections that recur. \nVaginal yeast infections. \nIn type 2 diabetes, the blood sugar level rises so slowly that symptoms often are not present in the early stages of the disease.

Your liver is unable to metabolize the alcohol and eliminate the toxins in your body, causing jaundice. You may already have cirhossis. See a doctor ASAP.
