Ep 230 – Hepatitis B
In this episode, Dr James Waldron is joined by Dr Rik Fijten, a GP with an extended role in gastroenterology, to discuss hepatitis B, the third instalment in a four-part hepatology series. Why are emergency departments (EDs) finding so much hepatitis B through opt-out blood-borne virus testing? Who is most at risk and why is hepatitis B such an important health inequalities issue? The discussion covers how hepatitis B is often missed, what primary care can do better, and how earlier detection can help prevent cirrhosis and liver cancer.
