Sažetak
There has been a dramatic improvement in diagnostic procedures and therapy of viral hepatitis in the last 20 years. Improvements in therapy caused an increase in actual cost, however, with significant long-term savings through a decreased cost of treatment of advanced liver disease including liver transplantation. The Croatian National Board for Viral Hepatitis has decided to initiate the organization of consensus conference on viral hepatitis enabling the leading experts in the country to give the best possible recommendations for the diagnosis, prophylaxis and therapy in our circumstances. The Consensus Conference took place in Zagreb in June 2004, with update in March 2005, organized by the Croatian National Board for Viral Hepatitis, Reference Centers of the Ministry of Health for Chronic Liver Diseases, Infectious Diseases and AIDS, Croatian Society of Gastroenterology--Hepatology Section, Croatian Society for Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation, and Croatian Institute for Health Insurance. Invited experts provided written reports on the respective subjects that appear in this issue and their recommendations resulting in this consensus statement.
