Patient's question:
25 years ago, I had surgery and received a blood transfusion. Over 10 years ago, I had gastric bleeding and received a blood transfusion. For the past 20 years, I haven't noticed hepatitis C. Recently, I was hospitalized due to pleural effusion and discovered I have hepatitis C. During this hospital stay, I received amino acids and placenta. Could these have caused hepatitis C?Doctor's answer:

For the past 20 years, I was unaware of having hepatitis C. Recently, I was hospitalized due to pleural effusion and discovered that I have hepatitis C. During this hospital stay, I received amino acids and placenta. Could these have caused hepatitis C? It is highly unlikely. Hepatitis C patients can understand and follow the prescribed treatment while also using dietary therapy as a complementary treatment. In daily life, it is important to maintain a proper diet and avoid foods.
