Doctors warn of liver health threats from alcohol and viral hepatitis ahead of World Hepatitis Day

Eastern Hospital doctors remind that both alcohol and viral hepatitis threaten liver health. A blood test is the only way to detect hepatitis B or C.

On the eve of World Hepatitis Day, doctors from Eastern Hospital remind that both alcohol and viral hepatitis pose serious threats to liver health. While the decision to drink alcohol is a personal one, only a blood test can reveal whether hepatitis B or C has become a "silent killer." The doctors emphasize that these two dangers are significant and should not be underestimated. Viral hepatitis can progress without obvious symptoms, making early diagnosis particularly important.
