Hepatitis B infection is common in Indigenous Australians causing serious problems such as liver failure and liver cancer. In the NT, there is an unusual and aggressive type. This project will establish if this unique strain does cause more liver failure and liver cancer. I will develop a special urine test to enable checking for liver cancer, and assess whether the use of the "Hep B Story" App will help people to have a better understanding of hepatitis B.

B型肝炎感染在澳大利亚土著人中很常见，导致严重的问题，如肝功能衰竭和肝癌。在北领地，有一种不寻常且具有攻击性的类型。该项目将确定这种独特的菌株是否会导致更多的肝衰竭和肝癌。我将开发一种特殊的尿检，以检查肝癌，并评估使用“乙肝B故事”App是否有助于人们更好地了解B肝炎。
