Download or read book Guidelines on Hepatitis B and C Testing written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Testing and diagnosis of hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) infection is the gateway for access to both prevention and treatment services, and is a crucial component of an effective response to the hepatitis epidemic. Early identification of persons with chronic HBV or HCV infection enables them to receive the necessary care and treatment to prevent or delay progression of liver disease. Testing also provides an opportunity to link people to interventions to reduce transmission, through counselling on risk behaviors and provision of prevention commodities (such as sterile needles and syringes) and hepatitis B vaccination. These are the first WHO guidelines on testing for chronic HBV and HCV infection and complement published guidance by WHO on the prevention, care and treatment of chronic hepatitis C and hepatitis B infection. These guidelines outline the public health approach to strengthening and expanding current testing practices for HBV and HCV, and are intended for use across age groups and populations.
Download or read book Eliminating the Public Health Problem of Hepatitis B and C in the United States written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-06-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hepatitis B and C cause most cases of hepatitis in the United States and the world. The two diseases account for about a million deaths a year and 78 percent of world's hepatocellular carcinoma and more than half of all fatal cirrhosis. In 2013 viral hepatitis, of which hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are the most common types, surpassed HIV and AIDS to become the seventh leading cause of death worldwide. The world now has the tools to prevent hepatitis B and cure hepatitis C. Perfect vaccination could eradicate HBV, but it would take two generations at least. In the meantime, there is no cure for the millions of people already infected. Conversely, there is no vaccine for HCV, but new direct-acting antivirals can cure 95 percent of chronic infections, though these drugs are unlikely to reach all chronically-infected people anytime soon. This report, the first of two, examines the feasibility of hepatitis B and C elimination in the United States and identifies critical success factors. The phase two report will outline a strategy for meeting the elimination goals discussed in this report.

Download or read book New Frontiers in Hepatology written by Amy McMahon and published by American Medical Publishers. This book was released on 2021-11-16 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hepatology is a field of medicine which studies the pathologies of the liver, including their management and diagnosis. Hepatic disease or liver disease causes damage to the liver. They are majorly caused by viral or parasitic infections, alcohol overconsumption, obesity and metabolic syndrome, genetics and genetic disorders, etc. Certain signs of liver disease are jaundice, coagulopathy and thrombocytopenia, confusion and altered consciousness, ascites and bleeding symptoms. The assessment of the liver is possible through a variety of liver function tests. Imaging allows the examination of liver tissue and bile ducts. Ultrasound, transient elastography and magnetic resonance imaging are used to assess the condition. Liver biopsy is another definitive diagnostic test for liver disease. The treatment of each liver disease requires a unique therapeutic modality. Antiviral medications are generally prescribed for the treatment of hepatitis B. Steroid-based drugs are useful in autoimmune hepatitis, while venesection is a routine procedure in hemochromatosis. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of hepatology. It unfolds the innovative aspects of hepatology which will be crucial for the progress in the understanding and management of liver diseases. The extensive content of this book provides the readers with a thorough understanding of the subject.
