Patient's question:
I am a 22-year-old male weighing 70KG. I have Hepatitis C genotype 1B. I received two injections of 50 micrograms of PEGinterferon alfa-2a, followed by two injections of 80 micrograms of PEGinterferon alfa-2a. My viral load decreased from 2 x 10^6 to 2 x 10^5. In this situation, I would like to ask: what should I do next if I have not cleared the virus after receiving four injections of PEGinterferon alfa-2a?Doctor's answer:
You have hepatitis C, and medication treatment hasn't cured it, likely due to reasons related to your personal constitution. It is recommended to extend the treatment duration, and it may be appropriate to adjust the dosage accordingly. This is related to your personal constitution, so there is no need to worry.In addition to timely treatment for hepatitis C, patient friends should always maintain a positive mindset when facing the disease. Only in this way can the patient's immunity and the belief to fight the disease be reduced. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to dietary care, focusing on light and nutritious foods, and avoiding stimulating and cold foods. It is believed that this will help drive away hepatitis C.
