NON-VIRAL HEPATITIS
The first step in treatment for non-viral hepatitis is removing the source of
the inflammation. Patients who have recently ingested a dietary supplement
may need to have their stomach pumped (gastric lavage). They will need
blood tests to check for elevated liver enzymes, which is a symptom of liver
damage. Corticosteroids may be prescribed to reduce inflammation. If
hepatitis leads to liver failure, a liver transplant is the only treatment option
that can improve survival.
