A comprehensive, empathetic guide for anyone suffering from this
serious liver disease
Approximately 4 million Americans and 170 million people worldwide
suffer from hepatitis C, a viral liver disease that is treatable
but not curable. 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.
