如果有人問你﹕你有乙型肝炎嗎？你會肯定的答「一定沒有」，還是好象大多數人一樣說「不知道呢」？

其實乙型肝炎在香港頗為普遍，很多人都是在檢查身體時才發現自己帶有乙型肝炎病毒。據統計，本港有十分之一的成年人都是帶原者，其中約有一半是出生時被母親感染的。其他傳染途徑包括接觸受污染的血漿或儀器、性接觸等。

醫生會建議乙型肝炎帶原者定時驗血，如果血液裏的ALT (轉氨酵)過高，即表示肝臟正在發炎。發炎時間越長，形成的疤痕會越多，最後演變成肝臟硬化或甚至肝癌。要預防這個情況，醫生會替病人定期檢查血液中甲種胎兒蛋白(AFP)的含量，並建議進行腹部超音波檢查，監察初期的病變。

定期檢驗肝臟，萬一不幸患上肝癌，也可及早知道。如果癌細胞只影響小部份肝臟，可用手術切除。到目前為止，治療肝癌的根本方法是切除手術，其他治療都是紓緩性的，只能有限地延
