Hepatitis B care and treatment with a qualified and compassionate doctor is provided at our Underwood clinic. Hepatitis B is a viral infection that causes liver inflammation. It is transmitted through contaminated blood and other body fluids.
Hepatitis B can be prevented by immunisation, usually given at birth and infancy period.
Untreated Hepatitis B can stay in the body for a long time (chronic Hepatitis B) and lead to liver scarring (cirrhosis), liver cancer and death.
Nearly half of all people living with Hepatitis B in Australia have not been diagnosed. Most people with Hepatitis B in Australia became infected at birth or during their early childhood in countries overseas.
Hepatitis B may be spread through unprotected sex or sharing injecting equipment.
At Top Health Doctors, some of our GPs have undertaken postgraduate training under Hepatitis B s100 Prescriber Program by The Australasian Society for HIV Medicine (ASHM).
ASHM is a peak organisation of health professionals in Australia and New Zealand, that manages HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmissible infections.
Hepatitis B is a viral infection that affects the liver and can lead to serious health complications if left untreated. The good news is that with appropriate medical care and timely interventions, the progression of the disease can be controlled, and you can lead a fulfilling and healthy life.
