Hepatitis C is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver. It spreads through contact with infected blood and can lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer if not treated in time. Many people with HCV don’t show symptoms until serious liver damage has occurred. At Subhadra Hospital, we provide accurate HCV testing and effective, up-to-date treatment to help patients recover fully and protect their liver health.
HCV is commonly transmitted through:
Sharing needles or syringes
Unsafe blood transfusions (now rare due to improved screening)
Tattooing or piercing with unsterile equipment
We offer comprehensive care from early diagnosis to complete treatment:
HCV antibody and RNA testing to confirm and assess the infection
Liver function tests and imaging to monitor liver health
Genotyping of the virus to determine the most effective treatment plan
Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) medications that can cure HCV in 8–12 weeks
Diet and lifestyle guidance to support liver recovery
Counseling on transmission prevention and family education
Vaccination against Hepatitis A and B (if needed)
Long-term monitoring for patients with liver damage
Referral to liver specialists if advanced disease is present
