Suggest Treatment For Hepatitis-C And Liver Cirrhosis

I am Nalini Tripathi fron New Delhi, with 5.2 ft height and weighing 65.4 kg. I have been on Haemodialysis since 1st July, 2008. I am suffering from Hepatitis C, genotype 1a since November, 2009.. For six months, I was put on Pegasys nterferon injections of 180 mg, but in vain. The viral liad increased to 4,33,000. Recently, I was diagonosed with Liver Cirrhosis. The right lobe of the liver is conmpletely scarred but the left lobe is within the normal limits. There is also mild Spleenomegaly with Ascetis.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM.

Yes according to history you are having cirrhosis of liver with portal hypertension...

You can start beta blocker drug for reducing portal pressure...

In cirrhosis liver can't produce albumin.so edema is present...Take low salt diet .
If needed diuretic is helpful....

If still portal hypertension not controlled TIPSS like shunt placement can be done...

Meanwhile take low fat diet.
Fruits more...
Avoid alcohol...

Take crushed papaiya seed with lemon juice one tsp daily .
Grind carrot and spinach leaves juice daily...

Take care
