[Liver cirrhosis and liver cancer associated with viral hepatitis B and C in republic of Tatarstan].
Clinical and epidemiological data on 93 patients with liver cirrhosis, treated in the Gastroenterological Department of the Republican Clinical Hospital of the of the Republic of Tatarstan MoH in 1998-2000 were analyzed. The retrospective analysis of 856 cases of the liver cancer, diagnosed in the Republic of Tatarstan in 1996-2000, was made. In 20.4% of patients with liver cirrhosis and 16.2% of patients with liver cancer, registered in the Republic of Tatarstan, the serological markers of hepatitis B (HB) and hepatitis C (HC) were detected. The domination of HC markers was observed in the liver cirrhosis and that of HB markers in the cancer of the liver. The liver cirrhosis with HC markers was more often registered in the age group of 45-60 years and with HB markers at the age over 60 years, while the cancer of the liver was more often registered in persons aged 75 years and older. The necessity of introducing the official registration of the liver cirrhosis and cancer associated with chronic infection caused by hepatoviruses B and C is confirmed.
