[|AI|]  Sir, Welcome to Chat Doctor .com I would like to know whether you are taking any medications for treatment of HCV or not ? Hepatitis C is virus that effects the liver and causes chronic liver damage that can leads to cirrhosis and even cancer of the liver.  Hence, it is very important to treat HCV. However, HCV treatment is expensive and requires regular monitoring. Without taking treatment of HCV only 10% of patient have spontaneous clearance of the virus that means most patients require to be treated with medications. Genotype 3 carries a relatively good prognosis and hence treatment is possible and effective. If we begin treatment for HCV you need to do the following: 1. CV RNA quantitative assay2. Liver biopsy to see the stage of liver damage - if you are not willing for a biopsy you can go for a newer non-invasive technique called FIBROSIS.  Based on the above reports we can start you on treatment for HCV with Peg interferon and Bahrain. After starting the medications you need to recheck the HCV RNA levels at 4, 12 and 24 was of therapy and 24 was after therapy is completed. The treatment is generally for 24 was depending on the response.
