A study presented at the
American
Association for the Study of Liver Diseases meeting
concluded that long-term damage from
hepatitis C infections alone may cost the U.S. economy more than
$81 billion by 2019.
The
U.S. Centers for Disease Control estimate that
approximately 5 million people in this country are infected with
hepatitis C. This is four times the number estimated for
HIV/AIDS infection (and this doesn’t even include other liver diseases and conditions such as Hepatitis B and
cirrhosis). Yet, comparatively, liver disease research and
education gets a pittance in terms of government funding.
