How had hepatitis C?

According to the different clinical manifestations, Hepatitis C can also be divided into acute, chronic and severe clinical three different types, so the treatment also vary.
(1) acute hepatitis C: proper rest and reasonable nutrition and diet and liver protection of the rational use of drugs, all acute viral hepatitis is a common therapy. As for acute hepatitis C should not use anti-virus early interferon treatment, experts still hold different views. Some called for the elimination of early interferon hepatitis C virus and prevent it into chronic hepatitis; It was also suggested that hepatitis C tend to have self-healing, Interferon not only expensive, and some patients will have side effects, say may not be able to completely prevent chronic , is not in favor of the acute phase. But clinical flexibility should, if the patient after treatment by the general improvement in conditions not obvious, serum transaminase (ALT) or DNA serum hepatitis C virus (HCV-DNA) or repeatedly sustained increase in economic conditions permit pedigree Under the circumstances, we can consider the use of interferon.
(2) the treatment of chronic hepatitis C: There are three concrete measures: 1) anti-virus treatment: Currently recognized more effective antiviral drugs most important of alpha-interferon (IFN-α), the dose of 3 million units / time, three times a week, subcutaneous or intramuscular injection. After patients under the specific circumstances and treatment effects, increased to 5 million units / time, three times a week, the course of treatment for three to six months. According to reports, about 50 percent of patients in relapse, but again interferon treatment can be applied validity. Some people advocated increasing dose, treatment extended to one year or with other antiviral applications can enhance the effectiveness and reduce recurrence. After treatment as a consistent cold, fever, influenza type reaction and dizziness, hair loss, and even peripheral blood leukocyte and platelet reduction of side-effects, should immediately stop, can be more natural recovery. In addition, the application of broad-spectrum antiviral drugs - the virus Belle (c nitrogen Belle nuclear) in the treatment of hepatitis C, aminotransferase decreased significantly and restore oxygen and hepatitis C virus RNA (HCV-DNA) level results. The amount of daily oral l ~ 1.2 grams, or 0.4 to 0.6 g / day, intramuscularly or acceded to 500 ml of 5% glucose solution intravenously. Treatment for 3 to 6 months. 2) immunomodulator therapy: Chronic hepatitis C can rectify the immune dysfunction, and promote hepatitis C virus removal and the restoration of Regenerated. Application also be compatible with other antiviral drugs. 3) to improve the treatment of liver function: to refer to the treatment of chronic viral hepatitis entry.
(3) treatment of severe hepatitis: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) if it is other types of hepatitis viruses, particularly hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, and very easily lead to severe hepatitis.
