A member asked:
My friend was recently diagnosed with hepatitis c. what are the chances she has any serious damage in the near future?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: Please encourage your friend to see someone with experience taking care of people with hepatitis c. She needs your support. Women are less likely to progress to severe scarring or cirrhosis than men. The most important intervention she can make right now is to stop drinking any alcohol.
