Hepatitis A/B/C/D
It often begins quietly — a sudden loss of appetite, a lingering tiredness, or your eyes looking slightly yellow in the mirror. Many dismiss these signs as routine illness, not realizing the liver may be sending early warnings.
At SSRC Health, we support you from the very first symptom to full recovery and long-term liver protection. Whether the infection is Hepatitis A, B, or C, our specialists ensure every patient receives precise diagnosis, timely treatment, and compassionate guidance toward a healthier future.
What Is Hepatitis A, B & C?
Hepatitis refers to inflammation of the liver caused by viral infections. Each type spreads and behaves differently:
- Hepatitis A (HAV): A short-term liver infection, usually transmitted through contaminated food or water. It typically resolves with supportive care but can cause significant illness.
- Hepatitis B (HBV) A virus transmitted through blood and bodily fluids. It may be acute or develop into a chronic condition affecting long-term liver health
- Hepatitis C (HCV) Commonly spread through infected blood. It often remains silent for years, gradually damaging the liver if untreated.
- Hepatitis D: occurs only in people with Hepatitis B, making infection more severe. At SSRC Health, our specialists provide personalized treatment, lifestyle guidance, and preventive care to protect liver health and manage long-term risks.
