Protecting your liver is a priority: Our main goal in treating viruses is to prevent reaching the stage
Liver cirrhosisWhich requires special and intensive medical care.

Viral hepatitis is an inflammatory condition affecting liver tissue, often caused by a viral infection that impairs vital liver functions such as blood purification and bile production. JOMEDIXAnd under the supervision of Dr. Safwan Al-KhasawnehWe offer an integrated treatment approach that aims not only to eliminate the virus, but also to restore liver health and prevent serious complications such as cirrhosis.
Types of viruses and pathogens
The types of hepatitis vary depending on the causative virus, and the most common and dangerous are:
-
•
Hepatitis C virus (HCV): It is primarily transmitted through contaminated blood (unsterilized needles, sharp instruments). It is considered a "silent killer" because it can remain for years without any noticeable symptoms.
-
•
Hepatitis B virus (HBV): It is transmitted through bodily fluids and blood. It can become a chronic infection requiring close monitoring to prevent progression to liver cancer.
Common symptoms (when should you see a doctor?)
In the early stages, there may be no symptoms, but as the inflammation progresses, the patient may notice:
1 Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes).
2 Extreme fatigue and unexplained lethargy.
3 Pain in the upper right side of the abdomen.
4 The urine changed color to dark and the stool to light.
JOMEDIX protocol for diagnosis and treatment
We rely on advanced technology to accurately determine the stage of the infection:
- ✅ Viral load test (PCR): To accurately determine the number of viruses in the blood.
- ✅ Fibroscan device: An alternative to a painful biopsy, to measure the degree of liver fibrosis in minutes.
- ✅ Modern drug therapy (DAAs): Capsules taken orally for 3 months eliminate hepatitis C virus with a success rate of >95%.
