Hepatitis B treatment in Ciudad Juarez

Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by a virus that can be transmitted through blood and other body fluids. It can appear acutely and resolve, or become chronic and require follow-up over time.

Common symptoms: In many cases it causes no discomfort; when symptoms appear, they may include fatigue, yellowing of the skin and eyes, dark urine, nausea, and abdominal pain.

When to see a doctor? It is prudent to seek an evaluation when these symptoms appear, after a possible exposure, or if a test detects liver abnormalities.

Which specialist treats it? The gastroenterologist and the infectious disease specialist are the professionals who usually evaluate and follow up on hepatitis B, with support from internal medicine. When there is any suspicion, consulting a specialist promptly allows for adequate management of the condition.
