内容简介

With new information on the latest treatments including Ribavirin, new chapters on hepatitis C and women, children and HIV, special information for diabetics, and updated resources of organizations, government agencies, and support groups. Hepatitis C afflicts over 4 million Americans. This is the book that brings them help and hope. Hepatitis C is a virulent, silent disease that is projected to kill 24,000 Americans each year within the next one to two decades. Acquired years before its symptoms show, hepatitis C can lead to debilitating fatigue, depression, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and death. This revised edition of Living with Hepatitis C: A Survivor s Guide is written for the millions of Americans who suffer from this deadly affliction-and for their husbands, wives, families and friends. Written by a nationally recognized hepatitis C expert and an award-winning writer, Living with Hepatitis C explains in everyday language the causes of the disease, how to understand blood tests and biopsies, the major and minor symptoms, how to avoid infecting others, and how taking care of yourself nutritionally will help. Readers will learn how to deal with the emotional rollercoaster and the cycle of grief and how to protect themselves and their families financially. The book also details all of the latest treatments including Ribavirin, what to expect if you need a liver transplant, and how dedicated medical researchers are providing hope for the future.
