Most people associate cirrhosis with alcoholism—but another cause of liver scarring and failure is HCV, one of the most severe strains of hepatitis. This program provides a basic medical understanding of the virus, presents various ways that it is transmitted, and explores what many call a groundbreaking method of Hepatitis C treatment. Veteran researchers and doctors—Professor Eugene Shiff of the University of Miami Center of Liver Disease, Dr. Ira Jacobson of Weill Cornell Medical College, Dr. Beth P. Bell of the CDC, and others—describe typical HCV danger zones and causes and the pronounced risk of liver damage that the virus represents. Advanced antiviral therapies combining interferon and ribavirin are also discussed. A Films for the Humanities & Sciences Production.
