Treatment of toxic hepatitis begins with eliminating the causes that caused liver damage.

There are also safe methods to alleviate the symptoms of the disease, for example, infusion of glucose solution through an IV or fractional use of medications. All these methods are aimed at increasing the volume of blood cells to purify the blood. It is important to know that if signs of toxic hepatitis appear, you must immediately consult a doctor who will help determine the cause and prescribe the correct treatment. Self-medication can only aggravate the condition and lead to dangerous complications.
