Drug therapy reviews: chronic hepatitis.

The classification, clinical course, etiology and treatment of chronic hepatitis are discussed. The clinical manifestations of chronic hepatitis are of limited diagnostic use. Diagnosis must be made by liver biopsy. The disease is classified as chronic persistent or chronic active hepatitis. The prognosis for chronic persistent hepatitis is excellent, and no treatment is required. Chronic active hepatitis may progress to cirrhosis and is associated with a poor prognosis if untreated. Recognized causes of chronic active hepatitis are hepatitis-B virus infection, post-transfusion hepatitis not associated with hepatitis-B virus, and certain drugs. For drug-induced hepatitis, discontinuation of the medication is indicated. For other types of chronic active hepatitis the recommended treatment is prednisone 10 mg and azathioprine 50 mg daily.
