It can be: Great advances have been made in the treatment of hepatitis c. Not so very long ago it was a life-long disease and now we can cure some folks. Patients being treated for hepatitis C can have a number of reactions to the medications and should be regularly seeing their doctors for close follow-up. If you are anemic, then your doc should be treating you for that before it becomes serious.
