Chronic Hepatitis in Children - Diagnosis and Treatment
Chronické hepatitidy u dětí - diagnostika a léčba
Chronické hepatitidy u dětí a jejich následky (jaterní cirhóza a hepatocelulární karcinom) představují závažný zdravotnický problém. V současnosti je popsána celá řada virů a mikrobů způsobujících postižení jaterního parenchymu. Mezi klasicky hepatotropní patogeny patří především viry lidských hepatitid. Odhaduje se, že až 15-30 % transplantací jater se provádí v důsledku chronických hepatitid B a C, přičemž hepatitidy B a C jsou celosvětově nejčastějšími krví přenášenými onemocněními. Autor se zabývá diagnostickými a terapeutickými postupy u chronických hepatitid v dětském věku.
