How long is the course of chronic viral hepatitis?

The so-called chronic viral hepatitis, which is the diagnostic criterion of Western medicine, is chronic viral hepatitis with a course of about six months, including hepatitis B, C and E. The persistence of the biological serology of the corresponding viral hepatitis in the body creates a chronic process in which the hepatitis virus in the body exists for a long time and repeatedly acts on the liver itself causing chronic damage to liver cells. Depending on the amount of virus in the body and the duration of infection, this can lead to a series of symptoms, such as pain in the upper abdomen, loss of appetite, aversion to greasy food in the compensated phase, and esophagogastric varices due to portal hypertension in the decompensated phase, leading to bleeding in the upper gastrointestinal tract and ascites formation, with a variety of clinical manifestations. If it is clear, the specific treatment needs to be considered and analyzed according to the amount of virus in the body and the degree of liver function damage.
