I have the fall of 2005 revealed the hepatitis C carrier was taking tests in the "Medal". Consult a physician Stepanova TV Now my husband and I are planning a baby, what should get tested for hepatitis? How will it affect my baby carriage? Thank you in advance for your reply

Respond Stanislav Y. Karpov, hepatology, gastroenterology, hepatology and gastroenterology clinic Medal chance child transmission during pregnancy does not exceed 5%. If you have a blood detected only antibodies to the virus, and HCV-RNA is not detected, then this probability goes to zero. Similar question: When can I plan the child, considering that I'm doing now vaccinated against hepatitis B (the latter will be August 15).
