The problem of viral hepatitis is relevant at the present time. Due to the high incidence rate, the diagnosis of parenteral hepatitis B and C is of particular importance. The difficulty of detecting them lies in the fact that they are mostly latent, characterized by nonspecific symptoms from the
hepatobiliary system and various extrahepatic manifestations. The appearance of obvious symptoms, as a rule, speaks of an advanced disease associated with the chronicity of the process leading to cirrhosis or primary liver cancer. The diagnosis is complicated by a long incubation period, the
presence of false-positive results, periodic fluctuations in liver function indicators, the need to
regularly monitor its condition.
