Viral Hepatitis Transmission Types and Diagnosis
If you get nausea, viral hepatitis is always in the differential diagnoses of possible diseases that could be affecting you. In fact, many doctors forget this and send home patients that present with nausea with the incorrect diagnosis of viral gastroenteritis. And it’s a significant miss.
To add to there error, they will send a patient home with full-blown hepatitis with medications to mask their nausea, suspecting that it’s only viral gastroenteritis. That’s wrong in oh so many ways! Since medications are mostly cleared in the liver, and their liver is the thing that’s ill, not just their stomach or intestines, these incorrectly diagnoses patients have trouble metabolizing the drugs that the doctor slaps them on for nausea.
