World Hepatitis Day | 28 July
Hepatitis B & C are among the leading causes of chronic liver disease worldwide. What makes them particularly dangerous is that they often progress silently, causing liver damage for years before any symptoms appear.
If left undiagnosed or untreated, chronic hepatitis can lead to serious complications such as liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and even liver cancer. However, these complications can often be prevented with timely screening, early diagnosis, and appropriate treatment.
🩺 Protect your liver by:
✔ Getting vaccinated against Hepatitis B
✔ Getting screened if you have a family history of hepatitis or other risk factors
✔ Not ignoring abnormal Liver Function Tests (LFTs)
Remember, liver damage often has no early warning signs. Early diagnosis can help protect your liver and prevent serious complications.
This World Hepatitis Day, spread awareness, encourage screening, and take a step towards a healthier liver.
