I have had problems with circulation in my legs and they are both severely swollen. Mostly the left calf is swollen. I have had DVT in the same leg but it s been 15 years ago. I also have hep c. I never have any energy or feel like doing anything. My husband just died in Feb. from liver failure, he was 45 years old. What are the latest treatments for hep c and should I have a biopsy or just a liver panel?
Hi there, Thanks for posting in Chat Doctor. Recently FDA has approved sofusbuvir for the treatment of hepatitis C, and it is found to be very effective. You need to undergo tests to find the genotype of hep C and the RNA levels (viral load) before starting the treatment. I hope that answers your query. Regards.
