Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Background and Objective: Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C virus are endemic in India and have an aetiological role in acute hepatitis, 50-70% of which end up with chronic liver disease. Hepatitis Bis responsible for approximately 300 million cases of chronic liver disease worldwide and is the leading cause of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. Hepatitis C is the major cause of transfusion transmitted non-A and non-B hepatitis and continues to be a major cause of liver disease throughout the world. As there are limited numbers of studies regarding this, the present study is undertaken. Methodology: 50 patients selected using purposive sampling technique admitted in the Department of Medicine, Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Mullana, Ambala from the period of July 2014 to September 2016 Results: Fifty patients with liver disease were studied. Majority of patients were in mean age group of 41-60 years. Male to female ratio was 4.5:1. Majority of patients presented with abdominal distension, anorexia and jaundice.
