A member asked:
How do i know if the interferon is working in treating hepatitis?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Check viral levels: Your treating provider should periodically check viral loads (level) to determine the efficacy of your treatment. When viral loads become zero and continue to stay like that even after the treatment concluded then you will know if you are cured.

Look for: Viral response. Either dna or RNA pcr response over time.
