Don't know: Without having your medical records and the means by which diagnoses were established there is no way to comment on this. Suggest that you discuss this with the doctor seeing you and if still dissatisfied get a second opinion. Might help to have a hepatologist see you (liver specialist) since if you have not been treated, HepC can now be cured with newer drugs.
