Suggest Treatment For Severe Liver Condition Post Hepatitis C Based On My Report

Hello, I live in Spain, I have Hepatitis C genotype 1b since 1978, the next day I start December 11th treatment with Interferon + Riba + Telaprevir, Interferon Injection 180 mg per week, the Riba and 3-0-3 Talprevir pills a day. In 2005, after three weeks but replic negativice virus. I have an F4 fibrosis with 46.3. My doctor is optimistic, I'm fine just the GGT was 600 units. Do you think if my liver was so bad I had put the treatment? Anguish I think my liver is already on the verge of collapse. Thanks from Spain. Georges

Hi thanks for contacting HCM.

Noted you have chronic hepatitis C since many years...
Antiviral drug given when chronic active means replicative stage. ..It also can be given to prevent liver damage further.
These drugs keep viral load suppressed ..

Anyhow now you have extensive fibrosis.
Portal hypertension may be there for which beta blocker can given or TIPSS like shunt placement done....

Take low fat diet.
In morning in breakfast also take one tsp cumin seed with milk....

Ultimate treatment for chronic liver dz is transplantation...

Take care.
