Interferon or drugs: Hepatitis c, a viral liver disease transmitted through contact with an infected person’s blood, can lead to liver problems including liver damage, cirrhosis, liver failure or liver cancer. Because a person with chronic hepatitis c can live symptom-free for years, many people do not know they are infected. The use of interferon and ribivarin is currently the only commonly used rx-the response rat.
