More DescriptionChronic viral hepatitis is the predominant liver disease in the US and physicians are encountering it on a daily basis in their practice. Often, it is the primary care physician and their co-workers who are being routinely asked about risk factors for hepatitis, to screen for markers of chronic viral hepatitis, to identify infected patients, to provide councselling and education and to begin the evaluation for therapeutic intervention. This book equips these practitioners with the necessary, and most up-to-date, information on viral hepatitis focusing on its diagnosis, management and treatment. The emphasis is on easy-access to medical "pearls", supported by numerous figures and illustrations, and especially algorithms. Also included is information about cost indications for consulting subspecialists as well as lists of key principles essential to the clinical practice of caring for patients infected with viral hepatitis.
