Hepatology Congress 2018
Tracks/Sessions
Track: 01 Viral Hepatitis A and E | Hepatology Conferences | Hepatology Events | Hepatology Meetings | Hepatology 2018
Viral hepatitis is an infection that mainly causes liver inflammation and damage. Immunity Hepatitis A is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis A virus and this virus causes only acute infection and typically gets better without treatment after a few weeks. It spreads through contact with an infected person’s stool. You can protect yourself by getting the hepatitis A vaccine. Hepatitis E is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis E virus and it is spread by drinking water contaminated by an infected person’s stool. You can protect yourself from hepatitis B by getting the hepatitis B vaccine. Hepatitis A and E are enterically transmitted diseases which share several common features such as no chronic carrier state for these two infections, faecal–oral route of transmission.

Track: 02 Viral Hepatitis B And D | Hepatology Conferences | Hepatology Events | Hepatology Meetings | Hepatology 2018
Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus which attacks the liver and can cause both acute and chronic disease. This virus is mainly transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person. Hepatitis D is a liver disease in both acute and chronic forms caused by the hepatitis D virus which is a defective virus since it requires hepatitis B for its replication. The virus is mainly transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person. A vaccine against hepatitis B is the only method to prevent hepatitis D infection.

Track: 03 Liver Transplantation And Surgery | Hepatology Conferences | Hepatology Events | Hepatology Meetings | Hepatology 2018
Liver transplantation surgery technique replaces a failing or diseased liver with one that is normal and healthy. Liver transplantation Surgery is the only cure for liver insufficiency or liver failure because no device or machine reliably performs all of the functions of the liver. The liver is an essential organ which serves critical functions including making proteins and blood clotting factors, metabolism of drugs and toxins, removing degradation products of normal body metabolism and synthesis of many important proteins and enzymes. There are three main types of liver transplant such as Orthotopic transplant, Living donor transplant, Split donation.
· Living-donor Liver Transplant

Track: 04 Cirrhosis And Its Complications | Hepatology Conferences | Hepatology Events | Hepatology Meetings | Hepatology 2018
Cirrhosis is a complication of liver disease which involves loss of liver cells and irreversible scarring of the liver. It is a condition that is defined histopathologically and has a variety of complications and clinical manifestations some of which can be life-threatening. The major complications of cirrhosis include ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, varices, hepatocellular carcinoma, hepatorenal syndrome and coagulation disorders. Patients who have developed complications of their liver disease and have become decompensated should be considered for liver transplantation.

Track: 09 Pancreatic Cancer | Hepatology Conferences | Hepatology Events | Hepatology Meetings |Hepatology 2018
Pancreatic cancer is caused by the abnormal and uncontrolled growth of cells in the pancreas, a large gland that's part of the digestive system. It typically spreads rapidly to nearby organs. There are many types of pancreatic cancer , the most common type is pancreatic adenocarcinoma. The most common symptoms of pancreatic cancer includes yellow skin, unexplained weight loss, abdominal or back pain, light-colored stools, dark urine and loss of appetite. Pancreatic cancer is difficult to diagnose, and the diagnosis is often made late in the course of the disease.
· Resectable Pancreatic Cancer
· Neuroendocrine pancreatic tumor

· Imaging of the pancreas
Track: 10 Viral Hepatitis C | Hepatology Conferences | Hepatology Events | Hepatology Meetings |Hepatology 2018
Hepatitis C is caused by the hepatitis C virus which can cause both acute and chronic hepatitis, ranging in severity from a mild illness. The hepatitis C virus is a blood borne virus and the modes of infection are through exposure to small quantities of blood. This may happen through injection drug use, unsafe injection practices, unsafe health care, and the transfusion of unscreened blood and blood products. There is currently no vaccine for hepatitis C.

About Hepatology
Hepatology is a branch of medicine concerned with the study, prevention, diagnosis and management of diseases that affect the liver, gallbladder, biliary tree and pancreas. The term hepatology is derived from the Greek words “hepatikos” and “logia,” which mean liver and study, respectively.
The main aim of this conference is to gather Hepatologists, Gastroenterologists, Pathologists, Directors/CEO & Industry experts, Professors, Researchers, Scientists and Students of Hepatology and Liver diseases in all areas of Liver diseases & Therapeutics and to provide an international forum for the dissemination of original research results, new ideas and practical development experiences related to the research.
MARKET ANALYSIS REPORT
Hepatology deals with the study, prevention, diagnosis and management of diseases that affect the liver, gallbladder, biliary tree and pancreas. The therapy of liver diseases has a growing importance as the number of patients in need is still rising .Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver caused by the hepatitis virus. The most observed form of this disease is hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. More than 1 million people die each year from causes related to viral hepatitis, commonly cirrhosis and liver cancer. According to WHO nearly 500 million people have chronic viral hepatitis worldwide. Approximately 1 in 12 persons worldwide are living with chronic viral hepatitis. Presently, an estimated 5.5 million Americans suffer from chronic liver disease . One of the top most leading causes of death of liver diseases is due to the combined diagnoses of chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, viral hepatitis and liver cancer.
Hepatology medicine is on the threshold of massive changes. Vaccination programs can help but still the mortality rate due to Liver diseases is increasing day by day and it is stated as a complicated one. Worldwide therapy of the consequences of viral hepatitis for the liver is available only for a minority. Access to innovative treatment of liver cancer and its therapy is limited here.
