Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am hepatitis C positive with IgM + IgG of 14.2. This test was conducted five years ago. What is the significance of this? I have full medical test including LFT from two months back including sonography where things were normal. Do I need to worry about this? Does it require a treatment or the count is within limits?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
You need to get the hepatitis C quantitative assay (RNA level) done and need to get treatment depending upon that.
There is no need to worry. Your other labs are fine (attachment removed to protect patient identity). But please be under the strict follow-up of a nearby gastro/ hepatologist. Regards.
