Now days, Hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy hospitals of India provide very good option to abroad patients for getting the surgery done at very low cost. The cost of treatment in Indian liver surgery hospitals is very low as compared to the cost of treatment in liver surgery hospitals of abroad. Because of the low cost of treatment and the availability of most experienced liver surgeons in India, many abroad patients are getting attracted to India for getting their treatment done from India at low cost. Hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy hospitals in India are at Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad and Chennai, the surgeons available for liver surgery in these hospitals are experts in their field. This shows from the success rate of liver surgeries in India. As the surgery is performed by most experienced liver surgeons the risk involved in the process is very less and the success rate is very good, In these circumstances Indian liver surgery hospitals becomes most preferable choice for abroad patients for getting their treatment done from India.

Hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy is designed to improve chemotherapy benefits for liver cancer by increasing the amount of chemotherapy delivered to the site of the tumor. Chemotherapy is dispensed from a specialized infusion system in which a catheter is placed into the hepatic artery to directly deliver the chemotherapy to the liver. A fully implanted system is used so that the pump that connects to the catheter in the hepatic artery is implanted under the skin. This allows for long-term administration of chemotherapy medication directly into the liver. The pump is periodically filled with chemotherapy by your oncologist. Direct infusion of chemotherapy into the liver minimizes the side effects of the chemotherapy and allows high doses to be administered. Infusion of chemotherapy directly into the hepatic artery to minimize the side effects of the chemotherapy is an option in selected patients with liver cancer or metastatic spread of cancer to the liver. This treatment has been of special interest in patients with colorectal cancer with liver metastasis. Because liver metastases from colorectal cancer derive more than 80% of their blood supply from the hepatic artery, hepatic arterial infusion is well suited as an alternative or together with systemic chemotherapy for the treatment of liver tumors. Hepatic artery infusion of chemotherapy has also been used in patients after liver resection for colorectal cancer spread to the liver. This is most advanced technique available for the treatment of liver disorder patients. This surgical technique is most preferred by most of the liver surgeons. The benefits of Hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy are this chemotherapy often leads to a better response of the liver disease compared to regular chemotherapy and delays further growth of the tumor, HAI therapy shows a trend toward increased survival rates, HAI therapy shows reduced systemic side effects that are associated with regular chemotherapy, HAI therapy enhances quality of life. As the surgical technique is most advanced thus the side effects reduces after the surgery as compared to other surgical procedures.

Medical tourism in India provides very good treatment facilities to abroad patients and along with treatment they take care of all the things required by patients for their comfortable stay here in India. The medical infrastructure in Indian liver surgery hospitals is best and clinical care provided by the hospitals of India is very good, that is also one of the reasons of attraction of abroad patients to India. Medical tourism in India takes care of all the things required by abroad patients during their stay here in India; they also arrange the accommodation for comfortable stay of abroad patients in India.

Scott Gillespie asked:


Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver resulting in damage and destruction of the liver cells. Hepatitis can be either acute or chronic. Acute hepatitis is usually caused by viral infection, drug overdose or reaction, and exposure to chemicals. Hepatitis which persists longer than six months is termed as chronic hepatitis.

There are five different types of hepatitis, like hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, that are cause by hepatitis viruses. This hepatitis virus grows in a person’ s liver and causes a lot of damage to this organ. Our immune system fights back against hepatitis, but is takes a while to eliminate the infection in our liver.

Treatment for Hepatitis A

Treating hepatitis A with drugs is not necessary because the disease goes away on its own.

Transmission of the virus can be reduced by avoiding unclean food and water, thorough hand washing after using the restroom, and thorough cleansing if there is any contact with an affected person’s blood, feces, or any other bodily fluid. Daycare facilities and other institutions involving close contact with people may be more susceptible to rapid transmission of Hepatitis A. Thorough hand washing and good hygenic practices before and after each diaper change, before serving food, and after using the restroom can help prevent institutional outbreaks.

Treatment for Hepatitis B

There is no cure for hepa b or let me say there is no medicine that is meant to cure it because it is caused by a virus and not a bacteria or fungus, just like chicken pox. The medicine that is generally given are just vitamins (jetefar, essentiale) for liver. that’s why It is usually symptomatic way to help the affected person. For example, if the patient has a headache, they would give him analgesic or if the patient has fever he will be given paracetamol.

Try to avoid to do things that may lead to Hepatitis B. such as unprotected sex, as well as things that might have someone else’s blood on them, such as a razors or toothbrush. by doing this. You will be sure that the virus will never get you.

Treatment for Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C treatments commonly involve the administration of interferon, a medication that was initially designed to treat patients diagnosed with leukemia. Interferon is actually a natural body protein produced when viral infectious agents intrude inside the human body. Although the body produces interferon in small quantities, this protein is very effective in fighting against viral infections. However, the benefic effects of interferon can nowadays be enhanced by modifying the protein in the laboratory.

There is no vaccine that can help you prevent the infection with hepatitis C virus. So all one can do to prevent hepatitis C is to avoid all the risk factors. If the hepatitis C virus is contacted, your body will try to fight it. However, the hepatitis virus can mutate and evade your immune system. As many as 80 percent of the people that are infected with the hepatitis C virus will not be able to destroy it completely.

Treatment for Hepatitis D (HDV)

Hepatitis D is caused by the virus HDV. You can only get hepatitis D if you are already infected with hepatitis B. Hepatitis D also causes inflammation of liver and is transmitted through infected blood, needles and sexual contact with with a person infected with HDV.

Yasmin M asked:


I am 21 years and have hepatitis c, we assume I got it at some point in my life from my mother who also has it. I know of people with the virus but they are all at least 20 years older than me and would like to meet someone my age to talk about it with. Also, does anyone know what foods I should eat to help support my liver?

Barbara

Recently I got the first dose of vaccines for Hepatitis A and B both. I shall be getting remaining doses very soon.

Please tell for how much time will this vaccination be actually effective so that no damage is done to my liver?

Kyle J. Norton asked:


As we mentioned in previous articles, hepatitis is characterized by the destruction of a number of liver cells and the presence of inflammatory cells in the liver tissue caused by excessive alcohol drinking, disorders of the gall bladder or pancreas, medication side effects, and infections. Any foods that contribute to inflammation of liver cells and lowering the strength of immune system should be avoided.

1. Cheeses, fatty snacks and meat

All these foods are high in saturated and trans fats. Not only do they cause cholesterol build up in your arteries but they also increase high blood pressure also damaging the immune system. It also is the main contributor to gallstone formation, fat livers that reduce the normal function of liver and make it vulnerable for virus infection.

2. All processed meats and sausages

All processed meat and sausage contains high amounts of artificial food additives and preservation that is toxic to the body resulting in weakened liver function and making it easy to be infected by the hepatitis virus.

3. Nuts

Do not to eat spoiled or moldy peanuts which contain toxic elements that is associated with the acceleration of hepatoma.

4. Avoid excessive drinking

Alcohol kills liver cells and causes inflammation as well as leading to cirrhosis.

5. Sugar

Since most people with hepatitis B have abnormal blood sugar levels, eating extra sugar causes liver inflammation and free radical damage.

6. Do not overload your body with excess iron because it is toxic to the body.

Corwin Brown asked:


Hepatitis is the Latin word for liver inflammation. It is characterised by the destruction of a number of liver cells and the presence of inflammatory cells in the liver tissue.

Hepatitis can be caused by diseases that primarily attack the liver cells. It can also arise as a result of a disease such as mononucleosis. Hepatitis can be divided into two subgroups according to its duration:

# acute hepatitis - lasting less than six months

# chronic hepatitis - lasting longer than six months.

What are the symptoms?

After you have been exposed to the virus, it can take from 2 to 7 weeks before you see any signs of it. Symptoms usually last for about 2 months.

Common symptoms are:

* Feeling very tired.

* Feeling sick to your stomach.

* Not feeling hungry.

* Losing weight without trying.

* Pain on the right side of the belly, under the rib cage (where your liver is).

* A fever.

* Sore muscles.

How is type A hepatitis diagnosed?

The doctor will ask whether the patient have eaten shellfish recently or traveled to a foreign country with poor sanitation. He or she will ask about personal hygiene habits and whether the patient have been near someone who has hepatitis A. The doctor will check for swelling and tenderness near the liver, and for a yellowish color of skin and the whites of eyes. The patient will have to have blood tests to confirm the diagnosis and to see whether your liver has been damaged. The diagnosis of acute HAV infection is based on serologic testing for IgM antibody to HAV. Test results for anti-HAV IgM are positive at the time of onset of symptoms and usually accompany the first rise in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level. IgM antibodies disappear during recovery, but those known as IgG antibodies persist, and their presence can be used to indicate a previous infection.

The only way the disease can be positively identified is by conducting a hepatitis B blood panel. This is a simple three-step test and is not usually included in the routine blood tests of a physical examination. However, the results of each individual test can be difficult to interpret for both health care professionals and patients. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that written results of all three standard tests be reviewed before a diagnosis is made. Patients should also receive copies of their test results for future reference
