Hepatitis C Treatment

Hepatitis C Treatment generally depend on:

How damaged your liver is?
What type of hepatitis you have?
Other health conditions

There are two types of patients:

Short- term(acute)
Long- term (chronic)

Acute disease patients are treated by normal medications or their body develops antibodies itself whereas chronic patients require complex drugs or proper treatment.

Success rates

As per WebMD website, introduction of Interferon and Ribavirin for treatment drugs pushed success rates as high as 70%. But still drug combination was not suitable. In another report researchers find that experimental drug has cured more than 95% Hepatitis C patients. Replacing Interferon with ABT-450 combination, 96.3 percent of the patients responded well. Care After the Procedure

Blood tests and doctor visits three to six months after surgery
Caring for the liver’s well-being should not stop – even after successfully completing Hepatitis C treatment.
