conclusions our data show that not only general health and physical activity were preserved but also health perception may be better among hd patients with viral hepatitis. background there are surprisingly a few studies that evaluate the impact of chronic viral hepatitis, which is common in hd (hemodialysis) patients, on hrqol (health related quality of life). objectives we conducted a study t...

background viral hepatitis is a systemic infection affecting the liver predominantly. almost all cases of acute viral hepatitis are caused by one of five viral agents: hav, hbv, hcv, hdv and hev. the present study aimed to find out the frequency of various forms of viral hepatitis (hav, hbv, and hcv), route of transmission, the history of vaccination against hepatitis b, and clinical findings i...

Background: Serial measurement of  hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels in the liver and its relation with liver damage and serum HBV DNA levels are guide to begin and/or end a treatment course. This study evaluated the relationship between liver hepatitis B DNA viral load with liver histology in patients with chronic hepatitis B (HBV). Methods:  Thirty patients with chronic anti-Hbe positive ...

Introduction: Hepatitis B and C are major health problems in many countries, especially developing areas. The frequency of hepatitis B is less than 0.8%, and chronic hepatitis C is less than 0.5% in the general population of Yazd in the center of Iran. Large vehicle drivers have some risk factors for acquiring hepatitis B and C infection. This is important because viral hepatitis complications,...

background more than two billion people have been exposed to hepatitis b virus (hbv) worldwide. furthermore, four hundred million of them are infected with chronic hbv infection. the predominant mutation of the precore region involves a g to a change at nucleotide1896, which creates a premature stop codon at codon 28. two mutations of a1762t and g1764a are reported as the most prevalent mutatio...

background: serial measurement of  hepatitis b virus (hbv) dna levels in the liver and its relation with liver damage and serum hbv dna levels are guide to begin and/or end a treatment course. this study evaluated the relationship between liver hepatitis b dna viral load with liver histology in patients with chronic hepatitis b (hbv). methods:  thirty patients with chronic anti-hbe positive hep...

background diagnosis and control programs for infectious diseases among immigrants are the most important aspects of epidemiological studies for both origin and destination countries. data about hepatitis b virus (hbv) infection among the afghan immigrants in iran is limited. objectives to the best of hbv treatment and prevention in afghan immigrants in iran, the present study was conducted to ...
