About this book
Viral hepatitis is widespread worldwide, and hepatitis B is among its most common forms — a significant cause of liver failure and cirrhosis. Solving the problem of hepatitis depends on raising awareness across the whole of society, and prevention depends on understanding how the virus is actually transmitted.
The book's central message is a practical one: hepatitis B is compatible with living, marriage, and family life. Following health advice, avoiding smoking, alcohol, obesity, and fatty foods, and adhering to medical guidance on prevention and treatment are what keep the disease under control. Hepatitis B is, today, a manageable condition.
Resolving the problem of hepatitis requires increasing awareness among all members of society. Fortunately, hepatitis B is a manageable disease today.
Seyed Moayed Alavian, MD — Professor of Hepatology, from the author's introduction (Paris, 2015)
