summary

Two days ago, my brother said that he had some pain in his liver area, and he couldn't eat. Take to the hospital to do a physical examination, the doctor diagnosed as hepatitis C, need to use some antiviral drugs, next I will tell you about the effective method of hepatitis C treatment what?

What is the effective method of hepatitis C treatment

First, before treatment, it should be clear whether the liver disease of patients is caused by HCV infection. Only patients with HCV RNA positive serum need antiviral treatment. At present, the most effective antiviral therapy is long-acting interferon PEG-IFN α combined with ribavirin, which is also the standard regimen (SOC) for chronic hepatitis C approved by EASL, followed by common IFN α or combined IFN and ribavirin, which is better than IFN α alone.

Second: direct acting antiviral drug (DAA) protease inhibitor bosepivir (BOC) or terapivir (TVR), combined with interferon and ribavirin, has been approved for clinical use in the United States since May 2011. It is recommended to be used in patients with genotype 1 HCV infection, which can improve the cure rate. After BOC, three times a day (every 7-9 hours), or after TVR, three times a day (every 7-9 hours). During this period, HCV RNA should be closely monitored, and protease inhibitors should be stopped in case of virological breakthrough (serum HCV RNA rises more than 1 log after the lowest value).

Third: acute hepatitis C, there is definite evidence that interferon therapy can reduce the chronic rate of acute hepatitis C, which can be carried out 8-12 weeks after the onset of acute hepatitis C, and the course of treatment is 12-24 weeks. However, early treatment is more effective for patients with genotype 1 high viral load (> 800000 logiu / ml).

matters needing attention

Because hepatitis C is also a common liver disease, if patients can not get timely treatment, it is likely to deteriorate into liver cancer. So as soon as possible take some antiviral western medicine or use some interferon to control the deterioration of the disease, pay attention to diet during medication.
