Hepatitis Virus Testing Business

It is estimated that there are 1.1 million to 1.4 million people infected with hepatitis (viral hepatitis) in Japan and 1.9 million to 2.3 million people in type C in Japan. However, since the timing of infection is not clear and there are often no subjective symptoms, there are many infected people who do not have the opportunity to receive treatment at the appropriate time, and there are many infected people who transition to cirrhosis or liver cancer without their knowledge. Is a problem.
Therefore, in Yokohama City, we carry out free tests at conduct medical institutions in the city to prevent the transition to cirrhosis and liver cancer by detecting hepatitis early and treating it.

Those who live in the city that have not received a hepatitis virus test in the past

[Especially those who recommend testing]
○Those who have received blood transfusions before 1992 (1992)
○Those who have undergone major surgery
○Those who have received blood coagulation factor products
○Those who have received organ transplants
○Drug abusers, those who are tattooing
○Those who have body earrings
It is considered that you are more likely to be infected with the hepatitis virus than the general public, so it is recommended that you be tested.
