 Hello everybody, my name is Karshav Rajika, I am the liver surgeon at Terminal Power Hospital, Kharagipurna. Greetings to you on the World Hepatitis Day. Every year 28th of July is celebrate the World Hepatitis Day in memory of Dr. Blumberg who discovered Hepatitis B virus. Hepatitis B virus was the first one of the predominant causes of causing Hepatitis in the last few decades. Now we have much better cures for Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, so Hepatitis because of Hepatitis B and C is far less common. So what is exactly Hepatitis? Inflammation of the liver is called as Hepatitis. Inflammation is always a result of injury. So it was believed that viruses like Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C are causes of injury to the liver. But now we understand that alcohol, drugs, fatty liver, everything can cause inflammation of the liver and all of this can cause Hepatitis. Hepatitis because of fatty liver is called as NASH or Non-Alcoholic Skate to Hepatitis. And Hepatitis because of alcohol is called as Alcoholic Hepatitis. Non-Alcoholic Skate to Hepatitis can be damaged in the long run and may eventually cause liver failure and needed transplant. Whereas Alcoholic Hepatitis can potentially be fatal. So it is important to recognize and treat these conditions. The theme for this year is bringing Hepatitis care closer to home. So most hospitals, most physicians including us are aware of Hepatitis and we will help you and treat you and make you aware of how to recognize Hepatitis and treat it. The most important thing is to screen for Hepatitis. So testing simple blood tests and ultrasound examinations are enough. So get yourself tested, find out Hepatitis and treat Hepatitis.
