Hepatitis (Library Binding) (ISBN-13: 9780737745535)

Hepatitis simply means liver inflammation, and it covers many conditions.

Provide your readers with essential information on Hepatitis. This book also serves as a historical survey, by providing information on the controversies surrounding its causes. Compelling first-person narratives by people coping with Hepatitis give readers a first-hand experience. Readers will learn from the words of patients, family members, or caregivers. The symptoms, causes, treatments, and potential cures are explained in detail. Alternative treatments are also covered. Each essay is carefully edited and presented with an introduction, so that they are accessible for student researchers and readers.
