Hepatitis Virus Testing Business

  • Overview

    It is estimated that there are 1.1 million to 1.4 million people type B and 1.9 million to 2.3 million people with type C in Japan. However, since the timing of infection is not clear and there are many subjective symptoms, there is no opportunity to receive treatment at the appropriate time, and there are many infected people who transition to cirrhosis or liver cancer without the person's knowledge. That is the problem.
    Therefore, in Yokohama-shi, we carry out free examination in conduct medical institution in the city to prevent shift to cirrhosis and liver cancer by detecting hepatitis early and performing treatment.

  • Targets
    Those who live in the city who have not been tested for hepatitis virus in the past

  • [In particular, those who recommend testing]
    ○Those who received blood transfusion before 1992 (1994)
    ○Those who have undergone major surgery
    ○Those who have received blood coagulation factor products
    ○Those who have undergone organ transplant
    ○Drug abusers, those who are tattoos
    ○Those who have body pears
