Hepatitis means the liver is inflamed. This can happen because of viruses like hepatitis A, B, C, D, or E, but also from other illnesses, certain medicines, toxins, or immune problems. Some types last only a short time, while others can become long-term and may lead to liver scarring, cirrhosis, or even liver cancer if not checked regularly by a qualified Hepatitis doctor in Bahrain.
At King’s College Hospital London, Dubai Bahrain Clinic, patients with suspected or confirmed hepatitis can get expert assessment, liver blood tests, checks for liver scarring, and help planning long-term care. If needed, we can refer patients to King’s College Hospital Dubai for more advanced liver treatment.
What is hepatitis?
Hepatitis is when the liver becomes inflamed. This can happen after catching a virus, eating or drinking something contaminated, coming into contact with infected blood or body fluids, or from another liver problem. There are several types of viral hepatitis—A, B, C, D, and E—and each one is different, so it’s important to know which type you have before starting treatment.
What does hepatitis treatment do?
Treating hepatitis starts with finding out what type you have and what caused it. Doctors also check how much your liver has been affected and work to prevent long-term problems. Some people only need regular check-ups and support, while others—especially those with chronic hepatitis B or C—may need antiviral medicines, regular liver tests, checks for scarring, and screening for liver cancer if needed.
When should you see us?
You should see a liver specialist if you notice symptoms like yellow eyes or skin, dark urine, pale stools, feeling tired, fever, loss of appetite, stomach pain, nausea, or joint pain. It’s also important to get checked if you have unusual liver blood test results, have had hepatitis before, might have been exposed to infected blood or body fluids, have a family history of liver disease, or need regular check-ups for chronic hepatitis.
