Statistics:
Approximately 1 in 12 persons worldwide, or some 500 million
people, are living with
chronic viral hepatitis ;1 million of those who are infected die
each year, primarily from cirrhosis
or liver cancer resulting from their hepatitis B and hepatitis C
infections .Many of those who are
chronically infected with viral hepatitis are unaware of their
infection as the virus can go 20 to
30 years before they develop symptoms or feel sick. As a result,
even though a person has no
symptoms and may appear healthy, the virus can still be detected
in the blood and damage to the
liver can still be occurring.
Viral hepatitis is among the top 10 infectious disease killers
and the leading cause of liver cancer
and cirrhosis. Both chronic hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis C
cause approximately 80% of the
world's liver cancer and cirrhosis that have contributed to the
increases in rates of liver cancer in
recent decades.(CDC, 2012)
