Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM.
I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
You should know that chronicity is the hallmark of Hepatitis C Virus.
So you need to get treatment in any case.
I would advice you following:
1. Liver Function Test
2. HCV Genotyping.
3. HCV RNA quantitative.
4. Ultrasound Abdomen.
5. Upper GI Endoscopy.
Get these investigations and without giving a second thought start yourself on treatment under guidance of an expert.
You may wrote to us again if you have any other query.
Stay healthy.
