Hepatitis C virus carriers need treatment
VerifiedDedicated to your well-being.
Hepatitis C is a hepatitis C virus. Whether hepatitis C virus carriers need treatment should be judged according to hepatitis C virus antibody and alanine aminotransferase results.
If hepatitis C virus antibody results are positive, it indicates that the patient is more likely to be infected with hepatitis C virus. Further hepatitis C RNA tests are needed. If hepatitis C RNA is also positive, hepatitis C infection can be diagnosed. Such patients need timely treatment; if hepatitis C RNA is negative, this situation generally does not need treatment. If the patient has elevated alanine aminotransferase, it indicates that liver function is damaged, and such patients also need to take liver protection and enzyme reduction treatment in time.
