Vologzhan found out at the examination that he had hepatitis C

The man lived and had no complaints about his health. His wife recorded him for medical examination. Having donated blood, the patient knew that hepatitis S. Vologzhanina was brought to the infectious disease specialist.

The man was hospitalized and treated. Now he is undergoing a course of modern antiviral therapy. It is important to stop the development of cerrosis of the liver. Thanks to modern methods, it is possible to achieve a complete cure in 95% of cases.

The regional Ministry of Health noted that hepatitis C can be asymptomatic for quite a long time. A person may not know about the diagnosis for years. However, the virus at this time gradually destroys the liver. Chronic hepatitis C without treatment will lead to cirrhosis or cancer. Such effects occur within 20-30 years in 15-30% of patients. There is no vaccine against the virus. The key factor here is early detection.

We add that blood for hepatitis C can be donated during medical examination at the age of 25 years, and then every ten years, that is, at 35, 45, 55, 65, 75, 85 and 95 years. Dispensation is carried out free of charge under the MHI policy.
