A Study on Correlation between Hepatitis B Surface Antigen and Liver Function Test and the Possible Factors Responsible for Hepatitis B among the Patients Attending Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital

Background: Hepatitis B is one of the major diseases of human and is a serious global public health problem. Although Nepal is low endemic for Hepatitis B it is responsible for significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Methods: The study was conducted among the patients attending Tribhuwan Unive...

Although Nepal is low endemic for Hepatitis B it is responsible for significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Methods: The study was conducted among the patients attending Tribhuwan University Teaching Hospital. Total 78 Hepatitis B surface antigen reactive sera and patients along with 54 liver function elevated (both icteric and non icteric) were studied to explore the facts. Results: It was found that 20% of Hepatitis B surface antigen reactive cases correlated with the liver function test indicating Hepatitis B virus a major threat of jaundice in or part. Amazingly of the total reactive case 14 % were found to have decreased albumin concentration a state of clinical emergency. Tracing the possible source of infection heterosexual activity was found most common (23%) but shockingly 6.4% of the patients were suspected to be transmitted from unhygienic surgical procedure during vasectomy and only few (8%) were found to have knowledge regarding Hepatitis B virus transmission and vaccination. Conclusions: Sterilization at any level of surgical practice and educational program is recommended to eventually stop the virus from transmission. Keywords: Hepatitis B virus; Hepatitis B surface antigen; infection; knowledge; liver function test; transmission. 2016-10-27T08:30:04Z 2022-11-08T10:11:57Z 2016-10-27T08:30:04Z 2022-11-08T10:11:57Z 2001 Technical Report Nepal Health Research Council (NHRC) http://103.69.126.140:8080/handle/123456789/274 en_US application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document Nepal Health Research Council (NHRC)
