Hepatitis C Treatments Directory
Doctors use a variety of treatments for hepatitis C. The illness, a viral infection, can lead to liver damage or cirrohosis, and liver cancer. The liver performs important functions such as cleansing the blood of toxins and breaking down fats. Hep C treatments depend the extent of liver damage, other illnesses, how much of the virus is in the body, and which type of hepatitis C is affecting the body. Treatments can be expensive, have side effects, and don't work for everyone.
