Hepatitis C in Adults
Hepatitis C infections are constantly increasing with just one-fourth of cases being detected in the acute
stage.
The major causes for hepatitis infection are sharing of needles and blood transfusions. Increasing use of
injected and inhaled drugs, along with a few cases of blood transfusion, are important causes of hepatitis
C in adults.
Detection of hepatitis C virus can be within one to three weeks of exposure to the virus. HCV antibodies
are present in all HCV-infected patients even in such early stages.
Although it is possible for adults to become clear of the hepatitis C virus, most cases proceed to the
chronic stage.
Progress of the disease is not the same everywhere. Sometimes, there are no signs or symptoms even
after two decades after contracting the hepatitis C virus which can remain completely dormant.
However, it could surface and proceed to drastic levels even before you are able to get a confirmed
diagnosis of the ailment. Often, detection occurs while the patient is undergoing treatment or blood tests
for some other ailments.
The disease manifests itself as chronic cirrhosis coupled with liver failure, hypertension and various
esophageal diseases.
Common risk factors for hepatitis C virus include being a male, advancing age and liver disease.
Hepatitis C Treatment Options
Treatment for hepatitis C focuses on reducing progress and development of cirrhosis.
Liver biopsy and quantitative assessment of HCV RNA are major options. The latter may offer better
information and produce better results.
Another therapy option is through interferon monotherapy. This treatment involves weekly administration
of polyethylene glycol (PEG) with interferon for around six months for sustained results.
Interferon and Ribavirin Combination Therapy may also be an effective treatment. Although it does
deliver positive results in many cases, discontinuing the treatment may bring symptoms back to
pretreatment levels.
It is the same if patients receive individual treatments without any combination therapy.
However, there may be extreme side-effects from the use of interferon either in isolation or in
combination with ribavirin.
Fatigue, headaches, gastrointestinal symptoms, and depression are common symptoms with
psychological factors sometimes assuming alarming proportions.
Patients often develop suicidal tendencies and could require Immediate hospitalization with constant
medical care. It can cause serious renal, cardiovascular, endocrine, and rheumatologic effects. However,
stopping of therapy may result in cessation of all symptoms.
Major side effects of hepatitis C treatment are fever, nausea, injection site reactions, and resultant
hemolytic anemia. Hemoglobin levels fall drastically during initial four weeks of treatment. This causes
serious effects on cardiac functions and other coronary diseases. Cessation of Ribavirin could cause
increase in hemoglobin levels.
It is best to rule out any possibility of pregnancy during such therapy periods.
