What Are The Risks Of Being A Hepatitis C Carrier?
I was supposedly diagnosed as being a hep c carrier. I have had the hep c vaccine and am a new 3 year RN. My doctor never informed me by mail but never stated any other concerns. I am due to have another physical exam but would like to know as a carrier what the risks are. I will be getting married and am not sexually active at all with my partner. But I have concerns. Thanks.
Hi thanks for asking question.... Vaccine are not much effective in hepatitisC... Let me know you as compare to hepatitis b chances of getting chronic hepatitis after infection with hepatitis c is more....that is up to 80 to 90 % also.... So if you suspecting that viral marker study done for hepatitis c by ELISA serological test.....
Meanwhile to avoid complications take fruits more. Green leafy veg more. Regular follow up Avoidence alcohol ....
Take care. Hope your concern solved. Dr.Parth
