Hepatitis Chronic Persistent

Chronic persistent hepatitis is a long-term inflammation of the liver that does not go away with current treatment, can last for several years and cause serious complications. It is also caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which is commonly called the "gentle killer."

Symptoms of chronic persistence

Chronic persistent hepatitis (CPH)

Chronic persistent hepatitis (chronic recurrent), also chronic hepatitis with an undetermined level of activity, or, abbreviated as CPH, is the inactive or slightly active stage of chronic hepatitis. Patients are long-term mild carriers of HBV (HBeAg-negative), who, despite the absence of active replication of the infection in the liver, quite often experience attacks of the disease (acute hepatitis) with its exacerbation (autoimmune, infectious, etc.) and subsequent recovery. Typically, exacerbations occur 3-4 times a year. They are not directly related to the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and its carriage, but occur only periodically (or periodically can be triggered for no apparent reason from the outside). Regarding the epidemiology of this disease, the following opinion is widespread among doctors: - episodic carriage of the HBV virus among people infected with it continues to persist throughout almost the entire life after infection
