summary

Many people don't know that they are ill after suffering from hepatitis C. The infection ability of this disease is very strong. My father was a patient who suffered from hepatitis C and died. Therefore, early examination is particularly important for patients, because it is very possible to find out the disease early and cure it. How to check hepatitis C has become particularly important. Now let's talk about my own experience.

What is HCV RNA

First, if you want to make a definite diagnosis of hepatitis C, you should have a check. The positive HCV-RNA in the blood is the "gold standard" for the diagnosis of hepatitis C virus. It is the use of molecular biological methods to check whether there is a virus in the blood. The advantage of this method is that the result is objective. It can not only know whether there is hepatitis C virus, but also determine the content of the virus, so as to provide the basis for the disease and treatment effect.

Second, the detection of anti HCV and HCV-RNA is of clinical significance. In addition, 20% of patients with hepatitis C do not have anti HCV, so the actual infection rate is higher than the detection rate. Negative anti HCV can not exclude HCV infection.

Third, the rapid development of hepatitis C, hepatitis C and hepatitis B are different, the initial symptoms of hepatitis C is obviously lighter, about two-thirds are not typical, and the disease process is obviously faster, if it may develop into liver cancer, the time is twice as fast as hepatitis B.

matters needing attention

Patients with hepatitis C have high dietary requirements. There are a lot of foods that patients with hepatitis C can't eat. Patients with hepatitis C should eat less sugar, because eating too much sugar may form fatty liver, and some metabolic residues of sugar will increase the burden of the liver, which is easy to cause gastrointestinal flatulence. Therefore, patients with hepatitis C should eat less sugar. Hepatitis C patients can not drink, smoke, eat greasy and irritating food, can not eat processed food, can not eat too much protein diet, can not abuse hormones and antibiotics.
