KAM DocTalk Hepatitis C
If you have Hepatitis C, you are not alone. About 2.3 million people are currently living with chronic Hep C in the United States. In this episode of Knoxville Medicine’s Doc Talk, host Rob Page, MD and special guest Eric Penniman, DO, talk about recent developments in the treatment of this deadly disease. The good news is that with early detection there are medications which can cure a high percentage of those testing positive for Hep C. This disease is produced by a virus that infects the liver which can lead to inflammation causing the immune system to attack healthy liver cells. Screening is now recommended for adults over the age of 18, with baby boomers considered a high risk group. Eric Penniman, DO is the Executive Medical Director of the Summit Medical Group with 70 different practice locations in East Tennessee. To find a Summit practice near you, visit their website at www.summitmedical.com.
