Hello, dear colleagues! Thank you for your interesting site. Please tell me whether it is possible in principle to cure hepatitis C, with a modern and properly selected treatment if the patient had been injecting drug users and alcohol abuse for several years? Cirrhosis has not (according to liver biopsy). And could you please advise the most interesting from your point of view, articles and advice in the honey. journals devoted to viral hepatitis (you can in English). Thank you.

Respond Stanislav Y. Karpov, hepatology, gastroenterology, hepatology and gastroenterology clinic Medal Hepatitis C is treated throughout the world by a single method - a drug interferon in combination with ribavirin. The course of treatment from 3 to 12 months. Last 8-10 years use pegylated interferon (they are administered 1 time per week) A similar question: If a person with viral hepatitis B, C, has cirrhosis of the liver, the PCR tests are positive all the same?
