What is Hep B?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
The liver performs a very important job because it helps to filter out toxins from blood as it comes from the digestive system. It also performs some other important functions, including the production of some digestive enzymes and the production of some hormones.
The liver can be harmed by consuming too much alcohol and other toxins. It can also be harmed by diseases such as hepatitis B. Hep B is a condition that can usually be treated but it can become very serious in some cases. There is a vaccine, however, and there are also steps that we can take to help protect us from the condition.
