The medical center has launched a hepatitis exam package to help identify the hepatitis virus early on and provide the necessary treatment.
Hepatitis is a viral infection that inflames the liver and can lead to long-term liver damage, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer in some cases. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications and improve the quality of life of those who contract the virus.
What is included in the Hepatitis Exam Package?
The Hepatitis Exam Package includes a comprehensive examination by a specialist to identify the type of hepatitis virus and the extent of the liver damage (if any). The package includes:.
- A complete blood count (CBC) to check the liver enzymes and white blood cells count
- A hepatitis panel blood test to determine the type and severity of the infection
- An ultrasound of the abdomen to detect any signs of liver damage
- A consultation with a hepatologist to discuss the test results and prepare a treatment plan (if necessary)
Who can benefit from the Hepatitis Exam Package?
The Hepatitis Exam Package is suitable for anyone who suspects they may have contracted the hepatitis virus, or those who have risk factors that increase their chances of infection. Risk factors include:.
- IV drug use
- Unprotected sex with multiple partners
- Receiving a blood transfusion prior to 1992
- Being born in a country where hepatitis is endemic (such as Asia, Africa, or South America)
Why is early diagnosis and treatment important?
Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent the progression of the disease and potentially avoid serious complications.
It can also help to prevent the transmission of the virus to others and improve the quality of life of those who have contracted the infection. Those who have tested positive for the virus should also take steps to modify their lifestyle and take extra precautions to prevent further damage to their liver.
How much does the Hepatitis Exam Package cost?
The Hepatitis Exam Package is priced at $400 and includes all of the tests and consultations mentioned above. Discounted rates are available for those who require follow-up treatment and testing after the initial exam.
