What should be done about chronic hepatitis C?

Patient's question:

During the company health check, the health check revealed that I have hepatitis C and chronic hepatitis. Is hepatitis C and chronic hepatitis serious? Why did I get this kind of disease? Is it related to donating blood to a relative at the hospital two years ago for free? I haven't received a blood transfusion either.

Doctor's answer:

It should be chronic hepatitis C. Attention should be paid to defensive training on a daily basis, as it is somewhat contagious. It is also necessary to follow medical advice and use a variety of antiviral drugs for treatment. Regular follow-up and reexaminations are required. Additionally, the appropriate use of liver-protecting drugs should be noted to prevent the expansion of liver cirrhosis or malignant tumors. Clinical diagnosis must be integrated, and sufficient attention should be given.
