We really hope Madelaynne will have a speedy recovery.

According to aksam.com.tr, Colombian spiker Madelaynne Montano has been diagnosed with hepatitis.

Another source tells Volleywood that the season is possible over for the scoring machine with her Turkish club team Galatasaray.

“It’s a shocking news for everyone. Her teammates, the coaching staff and her fans are really sad and we can all hope that she will get the best medical help to ensure she’d recover in due time.”

In case you didn’t know, Galatasaray is the club team of other world class players like Saori Kimura, Eleonora Lo Bianco, Neriman Ozsoy & Dobriana Rabadzhieva under Coach Barbolini. Aside from competing in the Turkish League, the team is in the prestigious Champions League and has qualified in the Playoffs.

Our source also adds that Montano’s absense will for sure hurt Galatasaray’s chances this season.

On behalf of everyone, get well soon Madelaynne!

Last year, Sara Anzanello of Italia was diagnosed with a serious case of hepatitis and she is now recovering.

What is Hepatitis?

Hepatitis is swelling and inflammation of the liver. The term is often used to refer to a viral infection of the liver.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Hepatitis can be caused by:

Immune cells in the body attacking the liver and causing autoimmune hepatitis
Infections from viruses (such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C), bacteria, or parasites
Liver damage from alcohol, poisonous mushrooms, or other poisons
Medications, such as an overdose of acetaminophen, which can be deadly

Liver disease can also be caused by inherited disorders such as cystic fibrosis or hemochromatosis, a condition that involves having too much iron in your body (the excess iron deposits in the liver).

Other causes include Wilson’s disease (excess copper deposits in the body).

Symptoms

Hepatitis may start and get better quickly (acute hepatitis), or cause long-term disease (chronic hepatitis). In some instances, it may lead to liver damage, liver failure, or even liver cancer.

How severe hepatitis is depends on many factors, including the cause of the liver damage and any illnesses you have. Hepatitis A, for example, is usually short-term and does not lead to chronic liver problems.

The symptoms of hepatitis include:

Abdominal pain or distention
Breast development in males
Dark urine and pale or clay-colored stools
Fatigue
Fever, usually low-grade
General itching
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes)
Loss of appetite
Nausea and vomiting
Weight loss

You may not have symptoms when first infected with hepatitis B or C. You can still develop liver failure later. If you have any risk factors for either type of hepatitis, you should be tested regularly.

Treatment

Your doctor will talk to you about treatment options. Treatments will vary depending on the cause of your liver disease. Your doctor may recommend a high-calorie diet if you are losing weight.
