Study this postgraduate diploma in Non-Viral Hepatitis and position yourself professionally with the best hepatologists, at TECH" 

The liver is the largest organ in the human body and has multiple and complex functions. All antigens absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract, microorganisms and other systemic factors, as well as the metabolization of drugs and toxic products, necessarily pass through the liver, and the effect of all of them can lead to disease and alterations of liver function tests. The study of a possible liver disease is therefore complex, broad and may involve a large number of diseases.  

Hepatic inflammation or hepatitis has diverse causes, both infectious and non-infectious. Different viruses with primary tropism for liver tissue have been described. Some of the issues to be addressed in this program include the most basic aspects, their clinical implications, their treatment, the main preventive measures against these infections and the serological and molecular diagnostic approaches used for their detection. 

On the other hand, autoimmune hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that occurs when the body's immune system attacks liver cells. Genetic and environmental factors interact over time and cause the disease. If left untreated, it can lead to cirrhosis and, eventually, liver failure. However, when diagnosed and treated early, it can be controlled with drugs that suppress the immune system. In turn, a liver transplant may be an option when autoimmune hepatitis does not respond to drug treatments or in cases of advanced liver disease. 

All in all, this postgraduate diploma addresses everything related to Non-Viral Hepatitis, being, in addition, 100% online, which provides the student with the ease of being able to study it comfortably, wherever and whenever he/she wants. All you need is a device with internet access to take your career one step further.
