I don't think it is the condition causing the liver problem but rather the condition of the liver it's self.  Is it end stage where little can be done or can medication help.\n\nI think it is the cause of the condition and the state of the patient that determines who gets the liver.  Also who got their name in first.

I don't think so. You aren't allowed to have any type of permanent blood-borne disease, so I would think that hepatitis C would DQ someone. You don't want medics afraid to do thier work on the battlefield because of fear of HIV/hepC ect, and likewise you don't want to worry about that medic having those diseases either.

That depends if you are in a smoke-filled bar doing your drinking. Studies have shown an increased risk of liver and/or esophageal cancer in heavy drinkers. Never heard of lung cancer, though.

This is what I have to say about tattoos. Honey, you can get Hepatitis C from it. It is the most rampant cause of cirrhosis of the liver. There is a treatment for Hepatitis C, but only 50% of those infected will respond to given treatment; the rest get liver disease and die. I also just got my blood drawn yesterday to see if I have Hepatitis C. You see we just found out 4 days ago that my husband has it and that I could also have it because I have slept with him. It's no small matter. I'm sitting here scared wondering what the results will be. I hope my test results come back negative. Please pray for me. I also hope for your sake that you choose not to get the tattoo; it's just not worth it. :(\n\nAdditional Note: A lot of people say it's fine if you get it done at a sanitary professional place. What they don't tell you is it doesn't matter how sanitary it is because part of the ink that is used goes back into the ink vials. To show you what I mean...imagine drinking out of a straw. Part of the liquid in the straw goes back into the glass when you are finished. It may be a very small amount; however, it is the same concept with the clean needles and ink vials when people get tattoos. Once you get Hepatitis C you have to get interferon shots 3 times a week for 6-18 months and there is no guarantee that it will work or that you won't relapse. I sure hope my test comes back negative. I will just hate it if it doesn't, and it's so sad that my husband has this. We have an appointment set up with his doctor in a couple weeks to go over his treatment plan. I think people that get tattoos are crazy!!!!

My husband had Hep b from when he was really sick at age 8, he doesnt remember what happened or exactly how he got it. Last year he had to be tested for everything as he wanted to get Permantent Residency in Australia. When he got the results back they said that he no longer has Hep b. I thought no way can he previously have it, then now he doesnt. How does that work?

It is extremely unlikely but hepatitis B is found in blood, saliva, and other bodily fluids of a person infected with it. It is usually transmitted to another person if blood or fluid enters anothers body through a cut or broken skin. (also sexual intercourse and including injection)\n\nIF the other baby has got Hepatitis B then you may want to get your baby tested just in case; speak to a doctor if you are worried.

if you are social drinker....the probability of liver scirosis is little but...if you abuse alcohol then your liver starts to malfuction. it takes time for our liver or anyother organs to heal...when it is subjected to abuse.....have a medical doctor check your liver by blood work just to make sure no serious damage has occured over the period of alcohol abuse.

Hepatitis A (HAV) is transmitted through oral-fecal contact. Acute HAV usually has an acute phase that lasts from 4-6 weeks with or without jaundice, fatigue and hepatomeglia.\n\nHepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a considerable health problem worldwide and a significant cause of liver disease and liver cancer in humans. \n\nLittle data is available about hepatitis C. It has only been in the last several years that we could test for the presence of HCV through the use of PCR RNA testing.

Hepatitis is a fancy way of saying inflammation of the liver.  There are many different reasons that can cause hepatitis.  Virus, massive blood infections, medications, alcohol, auto-immune disorders are some general causes of hepatitis. \n\nHepatitis C virus and alcohol both can cause inflammation of the liver.  Hepatitis C can be easily tested by blood work and if you have abnormal liver function test and Hepatitis C, it could be causing the hepatitis.  If you test negative for Hepatitis C and you drink alot of alcohol, then the alcohol may be causing it.  Now if you drink heavily/frequently and also have Hepatitis C it may be hard to figure which one is doing more damage.  In the last case senerio,  the important thing to rememeber is that both the alcohol and hepatitis C could be causing liver inflammation and ultimately you could develop liver cirrhosis (liver is so damaged and scarred from chronic inflammation) faster than if you have only had one causative factor.\n\nUnlike what people above said, alcohol does cause hepatitis and it is common.  Chronic hepatitis can ultimately lead to liver cirrhosis.

I think they are both bad....smoking destroys your lungs. Alcohol destroys your liver...stomach and brain. Alcohol killed my mom. What makes Alcohol dangerous is that the disease of alcoholism can be passed down through the generations. I am a recovering alcoholic. My moms brother is an alcoholic. My grandfather was. There is no disease of smoking that passes down through the family trees....but smoking does kill people.

Hepatitis is a virus that affects the liver.  Hepatitis B is very contagious and it is transmitted by blood and body fluids just like HIV.  Actually, Hepatitis B viruses live on inanimate objects longer than the HIV virus.  You can be vaccinated against Hepatitis A and B.  Hepatitis C is not as contagious as Hepatitis B but it can affect the liver and result in liver failure if undetected.  Most people do not know they have hepatitis of any strand until a blood test is done to detect it in a person's body.
