    Vietnam is one of countries with the highest rate of hepatitis B in the world. The number of people infected with hepatitis B accounts for 20% of the national population (1 out of 5 people will be infected with hepatitis B). According to a report from the Preventive Medicine Department, each year, Vietnam has 10 million cases of deaths from hepatitis B.

    Hepatitis B is also the main cause of liver cancer, cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis.

    This virus progresses quietly, the symptoms are very discreet, difficult to detect without blood tests. Up to 90% of people with hepatitis B don't know their condition. The burning problem today is that the mother infects her baby at birth (before, during or after birth, called perinatal transmission) because of not knowing or not being properly advised.

    In addition, the proportion of people infected with hepatitis C is lower than hepatitis B, but hepatitis C also causes dangerous complications.

    So:

    • How do I know if I have hepatitis B or C?
    • How are the routes of transmission? How to prevent it?
    • When infected, how to monitor and treat? Is there any treatment?​​

    MASKED HYPERTENSION
    Masked hypertension refers to a condition where a patient’s blood pressure (BP) appears normal (below 140/90 mmHg) when measured in a clinical setting but exceeds the threshold of 135/85 mmHg when measured outside the clinic, such as at home or with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) over 24 hours. The concern with masked hypertension is that it often goes unnoticed, yet it poses significant health risks. If left untreated, it can lead to severe complications such as kidney failure, vision loss, heart failure, and an increased risk of stroke.
