Dear Dr. Khawaja Tahir Maqbool,
Question:
Salam, My mother has Hep. C (genotype 3a) from about 15 years. She has tried multiple rounds of treatment regimes starting from interferon, pegasys, and then solvadi in 2016-2017 with no success. Her current state is healthy accompanied with weakness. The
out-of-range tests results are: HCV-RNA Viral Load: 8,954,757 IU/ml ALT: 120 AST: 138 Haemoglobin: 9.8 Low Vitamin-D levels She is currently taking a low dose of Silymarin. Please advise regarding the following queries: 1. A doctor for consultation in Lahore.
2. Should she take iron supplements to address low Hb levels? 3. Recommended course of action?
