As the most common liver disease in the world, Hepatitis B is a life-threatening liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus, or HBV. It can cause chronic infection and put people at a high risk of death from cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) and liver cancer. In 2015, 257 million people were living with a chronic form of hepatitis B, and almost 900,000 people died from it. In this video, you’ll learn a bit about the background of hepatitis B, its symptoms, transmission, molecular mechanism, prevention, and treatment! • This video was made by McMaster University Demystifying Medicine students Julie Cho, Saad Ahmed, Vivek Parmar, Anisa Rana, Barjot Gill. • Copyright McMaster University 2021. • • References: • Boni, C., Fisicaro, P., Valdatta, C., Amadei, B., Vincenzo, P.
