List Diseases – H
Hepatocellular carcinoma is formed in 5-15% of patients with alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver. The role of alcohol in carcinogenesis has not yet been elucidated. An increased incidence of cancer of the oral cavity (except for the lips), pharynx, larynx, esophagus in patients with chronic alcoholism.
Hepatoblastoma is a rare tumor that affects children under 4 years of age, regardless of sex; it rarely develops in older children and adults.
Chronic hepatitis in the elderly is a disease that occurs due to various causes. In 28% of cases, acute viral hepatitis in the elderly is the cause of ironic hepatitis. Currently, there are 2 forms of the disease: persistent and active (aggressive) chronic hepatitis.
Chronic hepatitis is a chronic polyetiological inflammatory-dystrophic-proliferative lesion of the liver without disturbing its structure. According to WHO, about 2 billion people are infected with the hepatitis B virus, of which more than 400 million are chronic carriers of this infection. In 10-25% of cases, the chronic carrier of the hepatitis B virus turns into a serious liver disease. In cases of congenital hepatitis B, chronic disease occurs in 90% of cases.
Viral hepatitis G is a viral infection with a parenteral mechanism of transmission, taking place in an asymptomatic form.
Viral hepatitis E is an acute viral disease with a fecal-oral mechanism of transmission of the pathogen, characterized by a cyclic course and frequent development of acute hepatic encephalopathy in pregnant women.
Hepatitis D (hepatitis delta, hepatitis B with delta-agent) - viral hepatitis with a contact mechanism of the pathogen transmission caused by a defective virus, the replication of which is possible only in the presence of HBsAg in the body. The disease is characterized by severe course and unfavorable prognosis. Codes for the ICD-10.
Hepatitis caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 (HSV 1 and HSV 2) is a disease caused by herpes simplex viruses, by which the fetus is infected from the mother with a disease caused by these viruses.
Possible development of acute cholestatic febrile HHV 6-hepatitis in organ transplant patients. HHV 6-infection can cause transplant rejection in patients who underwent liver transplantation.
The pathogenesis of HSV-hepatitis has not been studied to date in immunocompromised or immunocompetent patients. There is reason to believe that in a number of cases reactivation of latent HSV infection occurs against the background of cytostatic therapy.
The probability of infection of a baby with hepatitis C virus from a mother with some form of HCV infection is high, but when the transmission of the virus occurs most naturally - in utero, in childbirth or after birth, with close contact - it is not yet clear enough.
In Western Europe and the United States, up to 95% of all cases of posttransfusion and parenteral hepatitis cause HCV. The disease occurs after a transfusion of virus-containing blood, plasma, fibrinogen, anti-hemophilic factor and other blood products. Outbreaks of hepatitis C among patients with immunodeficiencies after intravenous infusions of immunoglobulin preparations were noted.
Hepatitis C (viral hepatitis C, Hepatitis C) is an anthroponous infectious disease with a contact mechanism of the pathogen transmission, characterized by a slight or subclinical course of the acute period of the disease, frequent formation of chronic hepatitis C, possible development of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Hepatitis B is an acute or chronic liver disease caused by a DNA-containing hepatitis B virus (HBV). Transmission of infection occurs by parenteral route. Hepatitis B has various clinical and morphological variants: from “healthy” carriage to malignant forms, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, and hepatocellular carcinoma.
Viral hepatitis B, or hepatitis B, is a viral anthropo- nous infectious disease with contact and vertical mechanisms of transmission of the pathogen. Characterized by a cyclically occurring parenchymal hepatitis with the presence in some cases of jaundice and possible chronization.
Hepatitis A is an acute, cyclically occurring disease caused by an RNA-containing virus; characterized by short-term symptoms of intoxication, rapidly passing violations of liver functions with benign flow.
Viral hepatitis A (infectious hepatitis, epidemic hepatitis, Botkin's disease) is an acute human viral disease with a fecal-oral mechanism of transmission of the pathogen. It is characterized by liver inflammation, cyclic benign course, may be accompanied by jaundice.
Hepatitis is considered one of the main causes of all inflammatory processes in the liver. The disease of viral etiology is blamed for the pathologies of this important organ, not accidentally, according to statistics worldwide, there are more than 500 million people with viral hepatitis.
Hepatic periosis is the most commonly asymptomatic disease in which multiple, blood-filled cystic cavities are randomly produced in the liver.
Hepatic encephalopathy is a symptomatic complex of disorders of the central nervous system that occurs with hepatic insufficiency. Hepatic coma is the most severe stage of hepatic encephalopathy, expressed in the loss of consciousness, the lack of response to all stimuli.
