Appropriate hepatitis treatment isneeded in order to get total

recuperation. The treatment shoulddepend on accurately diagnosis. Thedoctor diagnose according toanamnesis, physical test, laboratory test

(specifically and usually blood tests) andother additional test using high techapparatus or machines.

USG is an instrument that isused to know organabnormality. Through liverUSG test, we can see liverenlargement by observingthe dullness of the liver edgepart (liver edge that is dullshow liver enlargement) andliver inflammation byobserving liver density partthat is darker.

It is a form of x-ray thatcreates an image of theinside of the body.

(The scanner's computeranalyses the data to build aview of the tissues and

organs of the body.)

A contrast dye is injectedinto the veins of the patientto enhance certain regionsof the liver. These are used to

get a more accurate pictureof the liver. This can also findliver tumors, bleeding fromthe liver and can alsodetermine the cause of

jaundice.

An ultrasound machinecreates images that allowvarious organs in the body tobe examined. The machinesends out high-frequencysound waves, which reflect

off body structures to createa picture. A clear, water-based

conducting gel is applied tothe skin over the abdomen.This helps with thetransmission of the soundwaves. A handheld probecalled a transducer is thenmoved over the abdomen.

Automatic Specimen Analyzer(Hitachi 912)

Since detection ofhepatitis in people ismore on performingblood tests andanalyzing blood

sample, an automaticanalyzer is usuallyused to rapidlyproduce resultsneeded.

This is where bloodsamples are placed toperform liver functiontests (LFT) for thedetection of Hepatitis.


7/8

Detect hepatitis by the useof PCR testing specificallyPCR-RNA.

(PCR-RNA testing refers toan advanced technologythat is used to detect, inthis case, ribonucleic acidfrom specific type ofhepatitis (HCV or Hepatitis

C virus).

This is used in performing pathatrix system in foods we eat.

(Pathatrix is a unique high volume recirculating immunomagnetic-capture system for the detection of pathogens infood and environmental samples.)

Ex. Contaminated Strawberries

This machine forcefully circulates non specific positively charged

magnetic beads throughout berry samples. The cationic beadsinteract with the negatively charged viral capsids and the twoare captured onto a magnet. Following subsequent washes withPBS buffer, the beads are resuspended in PBS and viral RNA isextracted with the RNA mini kit. Extracted RNA is amplified by RT-PCR.
