Velacur can also be used to assess and manage other chronic liver diseases, resulting from viral infections, autoimmune disorders, metabolic diseases or excessive alcohol consumption. Like fatty liver disease, viral and autoimmune hepatitis are “silent” diseases of the liver. They show no symptoms until your liver is severely damaged, making it vital for early disease detection to limit progression and protect the health of your liver.
Hepatitis B (HBV) and Hepatitis C (HCV) are two of the most common forms of viral hepatitis. These viruses are contagious and often transmitted without one’s knowledge, making people unaware of their condition.
Autoimmune hepatitis is a non-infectious disease characterized by chronic inflammation of the liver, whereby the body’s own immune system attacks the liver. The cause of this disease is unknown and there is no cure.
