Is Hepatitis-C Hereditary From The Father To The Son?
My liver ultrasound report done in 2014 & 2017 indicates that my liver is normal in shape size and ecopattern. CBD and portal veins are also normal and IHBRs are not dilated. Thenafter is there is a any risk of liver infected with Hep C as my father was diagnosed Hep C (Cihrrosis) in 2013 and he died in 2013. Before 2013 I was looking after him for last 10 years including his insulin, bathing medication and urine bag changes as that time we were not aware of his disease.

Hello welcome to the health care magic
You are not having liver cirrhosis as USG abdomen scan report is normal.
But for rule out hepatitis c you should investigate with serum anti HCV ELISA testing.
HCV can be spread by secretions and fluids.
So rule out it by above investigation.
Take care
Hope your concern solved
