1 Welcome Your Host: Karen Riba Clearing te Confusion: Lab Testing in te Diagnosis and Management of Viral Hepatitis April 12, 2011 Handout is available by clicking on te andout icon in te upper rigt and corner of your screen For tecnical difficulties please For questions you ave during te presentation use te Q & A link at te top of your screen Questions will be answered at te end of te presentation Welcome Your Host: Karen Riba P.A.C.E. credit may be obtained by submitting your completed evaluation form at te end of te webinar CE credit may be obtained by downloading te Certificate of Completion PAML employees will be able to receive one our of continuing education. Speaker Information Speaker Image Dr. Katerine Soreng, P.D. Dr. Soreng received er BSc. in Biology from te University of Wasington in Seattle. Se was awarded a P.D. in Immunology and Molecular Patogenesis from Emory University in Atlanta, GA, publising a tesis on protein syntesis and cytoskeletal elements in te Class II restricted processing of antigen. Learning Objectives At te end of tis presentation participants will be able to: Identify te appropriate tests involved in te differential diagnosis of viral epatitis (including acute vs cronic) Discuss te algoritms useful for bot epatitis B and C antibody test confirmation Discuss te clinical utility of viral load and genotype in bot epatitis B and C infection.
