Summary:
Hepatitis A is a short-lived disease that can be going away, and
there is only 5% base on 40% of urban American whom have
hepatitis A. Therefore, it doesn’t cause chronic liver disease. In
spite of that, the damage of HBV and HCV are similar lead to
cancer and chronic disease for the liver. Unfortunate, there is only
vaccination for hepatitis A and B, “because the virus doesn't
cause the kind of response that would be needed for a vaccine to
be successful.

Summary:
Throughout all the type of hepatitis, the HVC is seems to be the
most severe because it doesn’t has vaccine for prevention and
the curing process will not starting until the disease at its chronic
stages. Most type of hepatitis is blood tests, because most type of
disease has similar systems. Also the most severe type seems
start with influenza that lead the patient mistaken their illness.
