Explained Professor George Roy Cullen one of the top doctors in the transplant department at the
University of Louisiana to the U.S. some of the aspects of liver disease and the importance of the
development of liver transplantation, during a lecture he delivered in the capital San Jose. Only idea put forth by the audience can be divided hepatitis epidemic into two main of which affects
the liver cells in isolation, such as viral hepatitis
Including the affects of the body in general, including the liver, such as a virus in C and Q fever. A, B,
C, D, E G
He also said other diseases affecting the liver such as malaria and Zahar, typhoid fever and other
diseases.
It is the most important questions put to it:
What are the most dangerous virus on the liver, he said?
The most dangerous virus is hepatitis C. The reason is that 80 to 90 percent of the injuries, it can
develop into serious and chronic injuries. And 50 percent of those cases get cirrhosis and therefore
cancer. And the effectiveness of vaccines for hepatitis A, which was revealed to the world market recently
in the prevention of cases of this type of virus response, Professor Cullen said there is a vaccine
called Hafrcks It is very effective and leads to the production of immunity in the body in 95 to 99
percent of those Aokhaddouna, and can be given Hmaallqah two doses separated by six months or
one dose of double claims Hafrcks 1440. This vaccine benefit patients who want to travel to areas
infested with the virus - a - especially as it is transmitted through normal contact, and though the
doctors advised to give Alqah for all people, but the use of vaccines has identified three categories
of people, namely: Who is always traveling to areas infested.
Communities with a high HIV infection epidemic - a -
Who work in the areas of health, especially in nursing homes and centers of the mentally retarded.
Are there cures for hepatitis epidemic? Professor, Khatib replied: Unfortunately, no such treatments,
but of course hepatitis A and do not leave any negative impact on the body. Hepatitis B and turn
into a chronic inflammation by a few, but the hepatitis C should be treated seriously for its
seriousness, and often gives with one of the interferon antiviral drugs.
When can a liver transplant for patients who suffer from hepatitis C, he replied: liver transplantation
is a therapeutic style is hard to hepatitis C, but the surgeons specialists are conducting the process
in order to save the patient from complications of hepatitis deadly. And held 50 percent of cases of
liver transplant because of cirrhosis of the liver in order to give the patient a period of life,
especially since most cases of cirrhosis of the liver caused by hepatitis, either viral or due to toxicity
and other pharmaceutical drugs. Can also be useful in saving the cultivation of the liver of patients
with cancer of the liver due to hepatitis. But in this case must be cancer alone there are no internal
transitions in the liver or external to the rest of the members.
As is known, cirrhosis of the liver is the final phase of the inflammatory chronic liver where they arise
decade of liver cells randomly in it, and decaying liver failure occurs when the absent structure
natural in it, where it becomes a difficult return of blood to the heart of the lower limbs, occurs the
accumulation of fluid in the abdomen and varicose veins in the esophagus and anus and elsewhere.
And cirrhosis of the liver induces the occurrence of liver cancer is the mixing of the most serious
complications of hepatitis C, and occurs largely in HIV infections CNN, as it gets 5 percent of the
patients in this mix, but need to be called for between the 15 and 20 years for that to happen,
however There are gay to the rule.
