Laboratory Testing for Viral Hepatitis: what's new and what has changed?
Speaker
Event Date & Time
DATE: July 28, 2020
TIME: 9:00 am PDT, 12:00 pm EDT
Abstract
The demographic profile of hepatitis B and C has seen a paradigm shift over the last 10 years and as a result clinical guidelines for hepatitis testing are changing. With updated screening recommendations on the way it is necessary to understand the role of serological markers in both diagnosis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and monitoring HBV disease status. The best way to reduce the spread of HBV infection and to optimize patient management is through the implementation of robust serological testing; with a few caveats along the way.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the shift in screening recommendation for hepatitis in the clinical guidelines based on the rise of hepatitis in younger demographics including HBV and HCV
- Recognize the importance of serological markers for HBV diagnosis and management
- Identify potential caveats when testing based on serological profiles and the complexity of HBV
