Hepatitis C is a viral infection that can cause liver inflammation and lead to serious liver damage. If you have hepatitis C, your doctor will examine your specific condition and make a treatment plan based on the type of the hepatitis C (genotypes), your general condition, and how much liver scarring (cirrhosis) you have.
The recovery time depends on which treatment you underwent. With antiviral medication, you should be able to get back to most of your normal routine within a couple of days or as soon as you do not experience any symptoms or side effects from the medication. With a liver transplant, the full recovery period can take around six months, but you should be able to return to work within 12 weeks.
Antiviral medicine is a safe and effective treatment for hepatitis C, with around 90% of patients with the condition are cured. Liver transplant is generally safe and approximately 70% of patients who undergo the procedure can live for ten years or longer. Both have some side effects and risks, such as depression, anxiety, skin irritation, insomnia, anorexia, tiredness, hair loss, aggressive behavior, bile duct complications, blood clots, bleeding, failure or rejection of donated liver, infection, mental confusion, and seizuresÂ
