HEPATITIS B (HBV) by Dr. Robert Gish HD

In this mini lecture, Dr. Gish examines the Hepatitis B and how the Hepatitis B Virus can affect your liver and your health. The term "hepatitis" means inflammation of the liver. When the liver is inflamed, it can have a harder time doing some of its jobs. Hepatitis B is caused by the hepatitis B virus. Many people who get hepatitis B as adults can get rid of the virus on their own. But others, especially children and some adults, can develop chronic (or lifelong) hepatitis B that can lead to liver damage, and sometimes the liver damage can then lead to liver cancer and death.
