Chinese Physicians believe that HCV Incidence may be Increasing in China with Blood Transfusion Thought to Be the Dominant HCV Transmission Route.DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c33734) has announced the addition of Hepatitis in China - Liver Let Die? to their offering. Hepatitis is a major health problem in China, which is home to one third of hepatitis B Hepatitis B Definition Hepatitis B is a potentially serious form of liver inflammation due to infection by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It occurs in both rapidly developing (acute) and long-lasting (chronic) forms, and is one of the most common chronic patients and one quarter of hepatitis C Hepatitis C Definition Hepatitis C is a form of liver inflammation that causes primarily a long-lasting (chronic) disease.

This report provides an analysis of the current dynamics of the Chinese hepatitis market through primary research data from 176 physicians, supported by key opinion leaders. It identifies drivers and resistors of the Chinese hepatitis market, and how the Chinese healthcare system impacts these market-shaping factors. The report also provides an examination of key hepatitis drug regimens for hepatitis in China, and factors affecting prescription trends underlying these regimens. An assessment of the differences between China and the 7 major markets in terms of HBV and HCV transmission and diagnosis is provided. This physician research indicated that HBV incidence is decreasing in China. In contrast to the seven major markets, where most patients acquire HBV sexually, perinatal transmission is the dominant HBV transmission route, which impacts on HBV disease progression and effectiveness of drug therapy.

Chinese physicians do not consider any HBV therapy a gold-standard, although lamivudine is the most prescribed first-line therapy, while adefovir is the most prescribed second-line therapy. While treatment choice is more limited for HCV, the Chinese HCV market is highly fragmented, with treatment differing significantly between regions.
