How To Treat Hepatitis C?
My wife found out from our second child birth that she got hepatitis C from her 1st child birth. They were both C-section births. What can we do for treatment. Also my second daughter they said has anti-bodies for it but no one will tell me what to do for them

Hello,
Your wife needs the following tests
HCV RNA viral Load, HCV Gnotyping, Liver function tests, Complete blood counts and a liver ultra sound. Whether she needs treatment will be decided after evaluating these laboratory results. Your daughter needs to undergo the same tests
Treatment consists of Interferron and ribavarin or Sofosbuvir
Do get back in case you have further queries
Regards
Dr Samir Patil
