- Your 6 - Phase health Process
Your Complete Viral Hepatitis B/C Treatment Journey
🩺Phase 1: Understanding the Condition
- Hepatitis B (HBV) and Hepatitis C (HCV) are viral infections that affect the liver.
- If left untreated, they can lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, or liver cancer.
- Caused by:Hepatitis B virus (DNA virus, bloodborne/sexual transmission)
- Hepatitis C virus (RNA virus, mostly bloodborne)
⚠️Phase 2: Symptoms & Risk Assessment
- Many patients remain asymptomatic until liver damage progresses.
- Common Symptoms:Fatigue, nausea, poor appetite
- Yellowing of eyes/skin (jaundice)
- Right upper abdominal discomfort
- Risk Groups:IV drug users, healthcare workers
- Blood transfusion recipients (pre-1992 for HCV)
- Unprotected sexual contact, perinatal transmission
🧪Phase 3: Diagnosis & Baseline Testing
- Key Tests:Liver Function Test (LFT)
- HBV DNA / HCV RNA viral load
- Hepatitis surface antigens and antibodies
- Ultrasound (to assess liver size, fibrosis)
- FibroScan or liver biopsy (in some cases)
💊Phase 4: Treatment Plan
- Antiviral Medications:For HBV: Tenofovir, Entecavir (lifelong in some cases)
- For HCV: Direct-Acting Antivirals (DAAs) – Sofosbuvir, Ledipasvir, etc. (8–12 weeks course)
- Liver Protection:Avoid alcohol, hepatotoxic drugs
- Vaccinate against Hepatitis A (if non-immune)
- Supportive care: Balanced diet, hydration
📋Phase 5: Monitoring & Follow-Up
- Regular Monitoring Includes:Liver function tests (LFTs) every 3–6 months
- HBV DNA / HCV RNA viral load testing
- Abdominal ultrasound (every 6–12 months)
- AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) for liver cancer screening (especially in cirrhotic patients)
🏥Phase 6: Recovery & Long-Term Management
- HCV: Considered cured if virus undetectable 12 weeks after treatment (SVR12)
- HBV: Suppression is goal (not curable yet) — lifelong monitoring often needed
- Lifestyle Tips:Healthy liver diet
- No alcohol , Stay vaccinated
- Routine doctor visits
- Mental and emotional support for chronic illness

Helping you understand Our healthcare
Hepatitis B (HBV) and Hepatitis C (HCV) are both viral infections that affect the liver.
HBV is a DNA virus, often spread through blood, sexual contact, or from mother to child.
HCV is an RNA virus, mostly transmitted through blood (e.g., unsafe injections, transfusions).
Both can lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, or liver cancer if untreated.
Diagnosis involves:
Liver function tests (LFTs)
Viral load: HBV DNA or HCV RNA
Hepatitis antigen/antibody tests
Imaging (ultrasound or FibroScan) to assess liver damage
A simple blood test can detect both viruses and monitor treatment effectiveness.
Hepatitis B: Treated with antiviral medications like Tenofovir or Entecavir. Lifelong treatment may be needed in some cases.
Hepatitis C: Curable in 8–12 weeks using direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) such as Sofosbuvir, Ledipasvir, and others.
Avoid alcohol and hepatotoxic medications
Eat a liver-friendly diet (low fat, low salt, high fiber)
Stay hydrated
Get vaccinated for Hepatitis A (if not already immune)
Regular exercise and stress management
Liver function tests (LFTs): Every 3–6 months
Viral load (HBV DNA or HCV RNA): As per physician recommendation, often before, during, and after treatment
Ultrasound and AFP: Every 6–12 months if at risk of liver cancer (especially cirrhotic patients)
