Dear Friend.
I undertand your anxiety.
See i won't hide truths from you.
Hepatitis C in most cases is a chronic infection. And treatment is indicated, especially if you have liver inflammation on biopsy and/or high
viral load. However, guidelines state that Hepatitis C should be treated irrespective of
liver biopsy as Hep C is usually a chronic infection.
Chronic Hepatitis C can cause
Chronic liver disease, which has its wide spectrum of presentation. It can also cause
Hepatocellular carcinoma.
Recent guidelines suggest Ultrasound and Alpha Feto Protein survilleance regularly to detect hepatocellular carcinoma at an early stage.
Look i am not saying you have all this. But Yes, you can have. So i would like to know, when was your Hep C infection detected and What treatment you were given for that. I need to know your all viral load reports, i want to see your all ultrasounds and all liver function tests, Upper GI endoscopy report if done.
Review with all above mentioned records attached.
I wish you a happy and healthy life.
