[Follow-up diagnostics, referral and follow-up of hepatitis B and C patients].

Almost all HBV and HCV patients who are eligible for referral, are actually referred to a specialist. Most HBV patients received the correct follow-up diagnostics after a positive HbsAg test result. However, in few HBV patients who were not eligible for referral, was the ALT level checked every year for three years. The general practitioner, as well as the patient, should receive a reminder for this.
