When Hepatitis C can be left untreated

If the quantitative Hepatitis C virus RNA test results are negative and liver function is normal, treatment can be continued without further treatment, but regular retesting is usually required. After active treatment of hepatitis C patients, if the quantitative test of hepatitis C virus RNA reveals that there is no hepatitis C RNA in the blood, it means that there is no hepatitis C virus, and there is no contagiousness at this time. If the liver function is normal, the clinical cure is achieved, at this time you can not need treatment, but you need to review regularly to keep abreast of the condition. After clinical cure, hepatitis C antibody is still positive, but the virus is negative, this situation is not infectious. Once the diagnosis of hepatitis C is confirmed, and the result of quantitative test of hepatitis C virus RNA is positive, if there is no special circumstance such as pregnancy, no matter whether the liver function is normal or not, antiviral treatment should be carried out. Commonly used drugs include gecalcivir, sofosbuvir, etc., which should be used reasonably according to the doctor’s prescription. Therefore, if you are diagnosed with hepatitis C and the virus RNA is positive, you should actively cooperate with the treatment and regular review, and you can achieve clinical cure.
