Patient's question:
HCV antibody positive, 3 months pregnant, ALT 110, can the fetus be retained?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the hepatitis C virus is contagious and can be transmitted to babies through routes such as mother-to-child transmission, daily close contact, etc. If a pregnant woman has hepatitis C, she can follow the same approach as for hepatitis B and receive an injection of immune globulin in the seventh, eighth, and ninth months of pregnancy to produce antibodies that bind to the hepatitis C virus. This is considered passive immunity. During delivery, cesarean section is recommended to reduce the risk of blood transmission.
