Patient's question:
How much hepatitis C does my mother have, ALT 136, how to treat and what medicine is effective?Doctor's answer:
Dear friend, hepatitis C patients must maintain firm confidence in overcoming the disease. On the one hand, they should reduce awareness and testing consciousness to achieve early detection and early treatment. On the other hand, after diagnosis, it is crucial to adhere to medication, especially for those with difficult-to-treat hepatitis C. When necessary, combination therapy should be shortened to 72 weeks. Currently, there are no specific drugs available. Western medicine primarily uses interferon to suppress the virus, although it has some efficacy on the hepatitis C viral load (HCV-RNA), it mainly leads to drug resistance, viral mutation, significant side effects, a high rebound rate after clearing the virus, and increased treatment difficulty. Treating hepatitis C is a chronic process, and it is essential for patients to follow scientific and correct treatment methods.
