HEP C Symptoms & Treatments

The symptoms of Hepatitis C can be varied from lethargy through to more serious conditions such as damage to the liver (cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer and also questions of liver transplant).

Hepatitis C infection can clear spontaneously. If it does not then there is treatment available called Interferon although the success of the treatment is not guaranteed. There are side effects. Although many do benefit from the treatment, there are a significant proportion who do not. If you have Hepatitis C then it is important that you consult your medical advisors immediately.

There are also lifestyle matters which can affect or aggravate the effects of Hepatitis C. Even moderate alcohol consumption can influence the course of the infection.

Hepatitis C can, in a few cases, lead to cross infection of others especially partners and, again, advice should be taken from medical advisors. The question should also be explored as to whether a partner should also be tested for Hepatitis C.
