Onke amaBantwana Boomers kufuneka afumane uvavanyo lwegazi kugqirha wawo ukufumanisa ukuba bosulelekile yi-hepatitis C okanye hayi.UChristopher Furlong / Getty Izithombe Uninzi lwethu luzibonile iintengiso kumabonwakude zisithi abantu abazalwe ukusukela ngo-1945 ukuya ku-1965 banelona zinga liphezulu hepatitis C kodwa uninzi alwazi ukuba bosulelekile.
Le yinyani ebaluleke kakhulu echazwe kwi Amaziko oLawulo lweNtsholongwane kunye noThintelo (CDC ) kwesi sifo. Intengiso ziqhubeka zithi umntu one-hepatitis C angaphila amashumi eminyaka ngaphandle kweempawu kodwa ngokuhamba kwexesha esi sifo sinokubangela iingxaki zempilo.
Oku kufuneka kuthathe ingqalelo yabantwana boomers. Onke amaBantwana Boomers kufuneka afumane uvavanyo lwegazi kugqirha wawo ukufumanisa ukuba bosulelekile yi-hepatitis C okanye hayi.
Isizukulwana esitsha sichaphazeleka yi-hepatitis C
Iingxelo ezintsha ezivela kwi-CDC zilumkisa ukuba usulelo lwe-hepatitis C e-U.S luphantse laphindeka kathathu kwisithuba seminyaka emihlanu, lonyuka ukusuka kuma-850 amatyala amatsha ngo-2010 ukuya kuma-2,436 ngo-2015. Iqela lobudala lichaphazele uninzi lwezi zifo zintsha ngabo baneminyaka engama-20 ukuya kwengama-29 ubudala. Kukholelwa ukuba isuselwe ekukhuleni kokusetyenziswa kweziyobisi ezichaphazelekileyo ezinxulunyaniswa nobhubhane we-opioid wangoku.
Abantu abaninzi baseMelika babulawa yi-hepatitis C kunaso nasiphi na isifo esosulelayo, njengoko kuchaziwe yi-CDC. Ngo-2015, phantse abantu abangama-20 000 baseMelika babulawa zizifo ezinxulumene ne-hepatitis C, kwaye uninzi lwabo lwaluneminyaka engama-55 nangaphezulu. Ngelishwa, akukho sitofu sokuthintela i-hepatitis C.
Yintoni iHepatitis C?
Igama elithi hepatitis lithetha ukudumba kwesibindi. Isizathu sokuba ibizwa ngokuba yi-hepatitis C kungenxa yokuba kukho iintlobo ezintathu ezahlukeneyo ze-hepatitis- IHepatitis A , hepatitis B neHepatitis C — nganye yazo ibangelwa ziintsholongwane ezintathu ezahlukeneyo. Uhlobo ngalunye lweendlela ezahlukeneyo zokuhamba kwaye zinokuchaphazela isibindi ngendlela yazo eyahlukileyo. Abo bane-hepatitis A bahlala bephucula ngaphandle konyango, ngelixa i-hepatitis B kunye no-C kunokuba nzima okanye kunganyangeki. Kuphela yi-hepatitis A kunye no-B kuphela ezinezigonyo zokuzikhusela.
Isasazeka njani?
I-Hepatitis C ibangelwa yintsholongwane ye-hepatitis C (HCV) kwaye ihlala isasazeka ngokudibana negazi elosulelekileyo kumntu one-hepatitis C virus. Nazi iindlela ezinokuthi zithintelwe okanye zisasazwe:
- Phambi kokuba kuvavanywe ubonelelo ngegazi e-United States ngo-1992, yayixhaphakile ngokutofelwa igazi nokufakwa kwamalungu emzimbeni.
- Ukusuka kumama uye kosana ngexesha lokubeleka
- Ukwabelana ngesondo nomntu osulelekileyo
- Ukwabelana ngeenaliti, iisirinji, okanye ezinye izixhobo zokutofa iziyobisi
- Ukulimala kwenaliti kwizicwangciso zokhathalelo lwempilo
- Ukwabelana ngezinto zokhathalelo lomntu kumntu osulelekileyo onokuthi adibane negazi lakhe njengeensimbi okanye iibrashi zamazinyo
- Ukufumana umvambo okanye ukugqobhoza ukuba kusetyenziswa izixhobo ezisulelekileyo
IHepatitis C ayisasazeki ngokwabelana ngezinto zokutya, ukuwola, ukuncamisana, ukubambana ngezandla, ukukhohlela, ukuncancisa okanye ukuthimla kwaye ayisasazeki ngokutya okanye ngamanzi.
I-hepatitis C imchaphazela njani umntu?
IHepatitis C inokukhokelela kumonakalo wesibindi, elona lungu likhulu emzimbeni. Eli lungu libalulekileyo linceda umzimba ukuba ucole ukutya, ugcine amandla kwaye ususe izinto eziyityhefu. IHepatitis C inokubangela iingxaki zesibindi zexesha elide kubandakanya ukusilela kwesibindi, umhlaza wesibindi okanye nokufa. IHepatitis C ngoyena nobangela uphambili wesifo sokuqina kwesibindi kunye nomhlaza wesibindi. Esona sizathu sixhaphakileyo ukufakelwa isibindi e-U.S kukho abantu abamalunga ne-19,000 abathi basweleke minyaka le ngenxa yesifo sesibindi esinxulumene ne-hepatitis C.
Kutheni le nto abantwana beBoomers besemngciphekweni omkhulu?
Akuqondwa ngokupheleleyo ukuba kutheni iBoomers yamaBantwana inezinga eliphezulu le-hepatitis C. Nangona umntu esengozini yokufumana i-hepatitis C, ii-Baby Boomers zinamathuba aphindwe kathandathu okuba abe ne-hepatitis C. Abantu abathathu kwabane abanesi sifo bazalwa phakathi ko-1945. kunye no-1965.
Esinye isizathu sokuba i-hepatitis C ibe yinto eqhelekileyo kwesi sizukulwana kukuba ukuhanjiswa kwe-hepatitis C kwakuphezulu ngee-1960s ukuya kwii-1980s.
Iimpawu ze-hepatitis C
Kukho iintlobo ezimbini ze-hepatitis C: ezibukhali nezingapheliyo. Phantse iipesenti ezingama-70-80 zalabo abane-hepatitis C ebukhali abanazo iimpawu, kodwa abanye baya kuba neempawu ezilandelayo:
- Ifiva
- Ukudinwa
- Ukuphelelwa ngumdla wokutya
- Isicaphucaphu nokugabha
- Intlungu zesisu
- Umchamo omnyama
- Ukuhamba kwamathumbu anemibala yodongwe
- Intlungu edibeneyo
- I-jaundice (isikhumba esimthubi okanye abamhlophe bamehlo)
Abantu abane-hepatitis C engapheliyo bahlala bengenazo iimpawu. Kuza kubakho isibindi esonakaliswe sesi sifo, esinokuthatha iminyaka, apho kuya kubakho naziphi na iimpawu.
Uvavanywa njani umntu kwi-hepatitis C?
Uvavanyo lwegazi olubizwa ngokuba luvavanyo lwe-antibody hepatitis C lunokwenziwa kwiofisi kagqirha. Ijonge ii-antibodies kwintsholongwane ye-hepatitis C. Ii-antibodies yimichiza ekhutshelwa egazini xa umntu wosulelekile.
Kucetyiswa kakhulu ukuba nabani na ozelwe ukusuka ngo-1945 ukuya ku-1965 avavanyelwe i-hepatitis C.
Ngaba zinganyangwa zombini i-hepatitis C ebukhali nengapheliyo?
I-hepatitis C enganyangekiyo inokunyangwa ngayo amayeza ahlukeneyo kubandakanya ezinye ezintsha ezisebenza ngokukuko kunye neziphumo ebezingalindelekanga ezimbalwa.
Nabani na one-hepatitis C engapheliyo kuya kufuneka abekwe esweni ngugqirha wakhe. Kucetyiswa ukuba babuphephe utywala kuba bunokubangela ukonakala kwesibindi. Kuya kufuneka kwakhona baxelele ugqirha okanye usokhemesti ukuba bane-hepatitis C ngaphambi kokuba bathathe amayeza kagqirha, izongezo, okanye amayeza eekhawuntareni njengoko benokwenzakalisa isibindi.
Zombini ezi ntlobo zinokunyangwa. Malunga neepesenti ezingama-25 zamatyala e-hepatitis C ebukhali, esi sifo siyazicoca sodwa. Kwezinye iipesenti ezingama-75, baya kunikwa amayeza afanayo asetyenziselwa ukunyanga i-hepatitis C. engapheliyo.
