Summary
Written by three eminent medical health experts and geared particularly to the Latino community, this book is a complete sourcebook on Hepatitis Ca disease of the liver that, if treated early, can be cured or controlled, but if ignored, is often incurable. Authoritative, compassionate, and easy-to-understand, this book begins with a description of the liver and its functions, then goes on to detail the facts about Hepatitis C and its causes and symptoms. Step-by-step information on what diagnostic tests can be expected at a healthcare facility, in-depth explanations of the latest treatment options, including the new combination Interferon-Ribavirin treatments, and comprehensive facts on liver transplants complete the book's discussion of the diagnosis and treatment of Hepatitis C.
