Usually hospitalization is not required. If a person cannot keep food or liquids down over a period of time, the doctor may decide hospitalization is needed. A carrier is a person who has hepatitis B, C, or D virus in the blood. This person may or may not have any symptoms of the disease. Because the virus is in the blood, it can be transmitted to others.
Blood tests can determine if someone is a carrier.
After the doctor has determined which type of hepatitis virus is present, treatment programs can be discussed. Review your medical history thoroughly with your doctor. Exercising will depend on the presence and degree of fatigue present. If there is no fatigue, there are no restrictions to the amount or type of exercise that can be performed. During the acute phase of illness, all alcoholic beverages should be avoided.
