It accounts for more than 40 percent of U.S. liver disease deaths-about 8,000 to 10,000 people annually-and is the most common reason for liver transplantation. This compassionate guide explains how hepatitis C affects the liver and the body and provides solid advice on today's treatment options-from drugs (and their side effects) to transplants and alternative therapies-as well as tips on dealing with the emotional and financial burdens the disease brings with it. Nina L Paul, PhD (New York, NY) earned her doctorate in infectious disease epidemiology and immunology from Yale University. She has researched viruses (human immunodeficiency virus and others) and the immune system. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Very empowering Hep-C book!!All the information you could ever need to take control of Hep-C. It answers all questions you could think of. Easy to access information. Very clear,understandable, and easy to use. A must have! Rating:  - for patients,their family and friends This is a very good book, from a patient' perspective. However, I would recommend reading this book, then reading another similar book, MORE DIRECTLY RELATED TO PATIENTS, by the title of "Hepatitis C - through a patient's eyes",by Suzy Smith, author Rating: - ExcellentI gave this a five because I really like the Dummies books. I've read other books, so the info isnt really new to me. This book though is still resourceful. A good first step about learning about HCV. Rating: - loving someone with Hep CThis book is so informative ! Information at your fingertips that you can just pick up and scan and read bits a pieces at time. When you have a loved one living with this you feel helpless and a little lost and this book really helps you see how to understand what the person with this disease is living with each day. Comprehensive basic information that you can ask intelegent questions, because without this knowledge you don't even know what to ask or how to be there to help and be more compationate. ...

Thanks to this book, I am better informed of the disease, its treatment(s), and what to expect. As with other "Dummies" books, it is concise, informative, and easy to understand. I highly recommend it!
