Living With Hepatitis C For Dummies by Nina L. Paul (PDF)

Description

A comprehensive, empathetic guide for anyone suffering from this serious liver disease Approximately 4 million Americans and 170 million people worldwide suffer from hepatitis C, a viral liver disease that is treatable but not curable. It accounts for more than 40 percent of U.S. liver disease deaths-about 8,000 to 10,000 people annually-and is the most common reason for liver transplantation. This compassionate guide explains how hepatitis C affects the liver and the body and provides solid advice on today’s treatment options-from drugs (and their side effects) to transplants and alternative therapies-as well as tips on dealing with the emotional and financial burdens the disease brings with it. Nina L Paul, PhD (New York, NY) earned her doctorate in infectious disease epidemiology and immunology from Yale University. She has researched viruses (human immunodeficiency virus and others) and the immune system.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This book is perfect for those wanting an overview of hepatitis C. Paul covers many aspects of living with hepatitis C. The book is a bit out-of-date, as it was written before the latest hepatitis C medications were approved. Medical treatment is discussed briefly in one chapter, a subject that could have been discussed more. Also, the book does not specifically address how to manage hepatitis C treatment. However, I would recommend this as a good starter book for beginners looking for information about hepatitis C.

⭐A member of my family has contracted this horrible disease and I immediately ordered this book to educate myself on cause and treatment. It’s an easily understandable book choked full with information. I’d recommend it.

⭐Anybody with Hepatitis C should read this book. All of the “for Dummies” books are extremely easy to read & understand. This book is full of information. I know from experience that it has been difficult to find anything on websites that give as much information as this book, in one place.

⭐Over the years I have received good information from many Dummies books. This one comes through. It gives a lot of information, is well organized, and is a big help to understanding Hep.C. I highly recommend it.

⭐Very informative for understanding friends and acquaintances and what they might go through.

⭐Book looks like new! EXCELLANT condition. VERY easy format. Able to gain alot of useful information, in a very easy to follow format!

⭐prompt delivery, great information in this book.

⭐A friend of mine has Hep C. This has really given me a great insight into how to help through good attitude, good nutrition and listening to your body!

⭐This book is not only a basic informational read for people with Hep C, but it is also excellent for families and friends. It covers all aspects of Hep C in a simple, easy to read, easy to reference format. It will give family and friends a better idea of the complexities of living with Hep C. There has been a lot of research and drug development since this book was written (2005) however, and so some of the information is somewhat dated. This book is a good starting point on information gathering for those living with Hep C.
