Dr. Shahzad MD :

Hi there

Dr. Shahzad MD :

Thank you for your question

Dr. Shahzad MD :

According the the latest treatment guidelines interferons are necessary for the treatment of hepatitis C

Dr. Shahzad MD :

Interferons along with ribavirin is the standard treatment for all the patients with hepatitis C currently

Dr. Shahzad MD :

There is no treatment like filtering of blood like you say or like kidney dialysis.

Dr. Shahzad MD :

You will have to contact a gastroenterologist or a hepatologist for treatment of your hepatitis C and it is with interferon and ribavirin combination and the duration of treatment varies on the genotype of the virus.

Dr. Shahzad MD :

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Dr. Shahzad MD :

Please rate me for my services before you leave.

Dr. Shahzad MD :
