Icteric hepatitis

During the infant stage of babies, there are many diseases that will endanger their health, and icteric hepatitis is one of them, especially acute icteric hepatitis. If it is not discovered in time and treatment is delayed, it may even affect the baby's life! Therefore, it is recommended that all expectant mothers must pay attention to some symptoms of icteric hepatitis, so that when the baby is unwell, they can make timely judgments and let the doctor provide effective treatment for them.

Generally, there are many causes of icteric hepatitis in infants and young children, which are clinically divided into four categories based on their causes. Therefore, when symptoms of jaundice hepatitis appear, we must first analyze its causes and symptoms. Only in this way can we adopt the correct treatment method for effective treatment. The specific symptoms of icteric hepatitis are as follows:

1. Fatigue and weakness. Fatigue and weakness are one of the symptoms of early icteric hepatitis. Patients often cannot clearly explain when the disease began, and their symptoms vary. Those with mild symptoms are reluctant to move, while those with severe symptoms are bedridden and do not even like to wash their face or eat. Despite adequate rest, the feeling of fatigue cannot be eliminated. In severe cases, it feels as if the limbs are separated from the body.

2. Urine is yellow like tea. Patients with icteric hepatitis all have symptoms of yellow urine, so yellow urine is also a symptom of icteric hepatitis. Initially the urine is light yellow in color, which gradually darkens day by day, becoming as thick as tea or soybean oil; then the skin and sclera turn yellow. Under normal circumstances, the lifespan of red blood cells in the human body is 120 days. Damaged red blood cells will release hemoglobin, which, after a series of decomposition and metabolism, turns into a yellow substance called bilirubin.

3. Loss of appetite, nausea and aversion to greasy food. The symptoms of this icteric hepatitis are common to most hepatitis patients, especially those with icteric hepatitis, which are more severe. The liver is the largest "chemical factory" in the body and is involved in all metabolic processes in the body. Among them, secreting bile is one of the important functions, and the bile salts in bile play an important role in the absorption and digestion of fat.

There is one more thing we need to remind you about the symptoms of icteric hepatitis, that is, the disease has a certain incubation period, and icteric hepatitis will not have any symptoms during the incubation period, but once the disease develops very rapidly, it will directly affect the patient's life. Therefore, I would like to remind everyone to pay enough attention to icteric hepatitis.
