Doctors Warn of Liver Health Risks Ahead of World Hepatitis Day
As World Hepatitis Day approaches, Eastern Hospital specialists remind that both excessive alcohol consumption and viral hepatitis pose serious threats to liver health, urging regular screenings for B and C hepatitis.
Ahead of World Hepatitis Day on July 28, doctors at Eastern Hospital are drawing attention to liver health risks. They emphasize that not only alcohol but also hepatitis B and C viruses can silently damage the liver.
While the choice to drink alcohol is a personal decision, the only way to detect hepatitis B or C early is through blood tests. These infections often progress without noticeable symptoms, leading to severe liver damage. Medical professionals therefore encourage everyone to undergo regular check-ups to identify any hidden infections in time.
