Understanding Hepatitis
What you should know
Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver, most commonly caused by viral infections (hepatitis A, B, and C), but also by alcohol use, toxins, medications, and autoimmune conditions. The liver is essential for filtering blood, producing bile, processing nutrients, and fighting infections — when it's inflamed or damaged, these functions suffer.
Chronic hepatitis B and C can lead to cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer if not managed properly. Modern antiviral treatments can cure hepatitis C in most cases and control hepatitis B, but these medications require monitoring for side effects and adherence support.
Our skilled nurses provide medication management for antiviral therapies, lab draw coordination for liver function monitoring, education on disease transmission prevention, and symptom management. For patients with advanced liver disease, we manage the complex care needs including fluid management, nutritional support, and coordination with hepatologists.

Common questions
Hepatitis — Common Questions
Yes. Modern hepatitis C treatments are oral medications taken for 8–12 weeks, but they require regular lab monitoring and can have side effects. Our nurses monitor your response, coordinate lab draws, and communicate with your specialist to ensure treatment stays on track.
Hepatitis B and C are transmitted through blood and body fluids, not casual contact. Our nurses educate patients and families on specific precautions to prevent transmission while ensuring patients don't feel isolated or stigmatized.
