Clinical burden and biochemical profiles of viral hepatitis in a tertiary healthcare facility in North Central, Nigeria
This study highlights the biochemical and demographic characteristics of hepatitis patients in Nigeria, emphasizing the heightened disease severity in co-infected individuals. Integration of liver enzyme monitoring with demographic profiling can improve early diagnosis and resource allocation in hepatitis management. Strengthening public health infrastructure and implementing routine fibrosis assessment are vital to reducing hepatitis-related morbidity in resource-limited settings.
