Hepatitis C: Tests
built 255 days ago
If you think you could have been in contact with the hepatitis C virus at any point in the past, you can have a test to find out if you've been infected. You should ask you GP. Local drug agencies and sexual health clinics (sometimes called genito-urinary medicine or GUM clinics) may ... offer testing.

If you have any symptoms or you are worried you may have been infected with hepatitis C, you should discuss your worries with a doctor. They may be able to run tests themselves, or else will refer you to someone who can.

This small trial of hepatitis patients suggests that a component of silymarin may be beneficial in managing chronic hepatitis. Ten patients with chronic hepatitis were assigned to receive 240 mg of the silymarin component 2 times a day for 1 week, and 10 other patients received placebo. The results of tests that show how well the liver is functioning showed significant improvement in the treatment group.
