Editorial Review:

Product Description:
"An extremely useful title…recommended."—Library Journal

Living with Hepatitis C was the first book to explain in everyday language the causes of the disease, the major and minor symptoms, and all of the latest treatments, including pegylated interferons. Since its first publication, researchers have made dramatic strides in helping the millions of Americans who suffer from this deadly disease.

Completely updated and revised, this latest edition includes the latest information on:
• new treatments including pegylated and consensus interferons
• living-donor liver transplants
• co-infections with Hepatitis B and HIV/AIDS
• promising new clinical trials of protease and polymerase inhibitors
• new maintenance therapies, an expanded and updated resource section, ways to avoid infection, and much more

Written by a nationally renowned hepatitis C expert and an award-winning writer, Living with Hepatitis C, Fourth Edition, remains the classic guidebook for patients and their families learning to cope with and live with this devastating disease.
