Which department should I go to for viral hepatitis?
Viral hepatitis generally requires a visit to the departments of infectious diseases or a specialized hepatology department, depending on the hospital’s departmental structure. If there are departments for infectious diseases or infections, those would be the appropriate ones to consult. Viral hepatitis includes various types, the common ones being hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. The treatment and management of these types differ. Hepatitis A and E are transmitted through the fecal-oral route via the digestive tract and require strengthening liver protection and enzyme reduction management. There are no antiviral drugs for these types. For hepatitis B and C, if there are indications for antiviral treatment, active antiviral therapy should be pursued.
