Your provider will request a blood test, possibly a urine test and, in a few cases, a liver biopsy. While there is no specific treatment for HAV (most of the treatments mentioned below are for the other types), supportive care is helpful while you fight the infection. Alcohol should be avoided. Receiving a tattoo can also increase your risk of contracting the infection. Since the persistence of a virus is due in part to lowered immunity, non-toxic immune enhancers (especially those which stimulate NK cell function) should help to resolve or control the infection. Several nutrients and herbs have been shown to inhibit viral reproduction, improve immune system function, and greatly stimulate regeneration of the damaged liver cells.
A therapeutic approach should focus on both immune system enhancement and liver support.
