Hepatitis C Clinic
We help diagnose and treat patients with hepatitis C by coordinating care between the patient and their primary care physician. Through comprehensive assessment, we aim to deliver personalized care that promotes liver health and improves quality of life.
You will undergo a review of your medical history, a physical exam and evaluation of your systems. Your clinician may also perform several tests (blood test, liver biopsy, FibroScan) to obtain a diagnosis and determine the extent of liver damage.
Treatment is done predominately through the use of combination medications taken between 12 to 24 weeks. Most medications are now oral and help the body get rid of the disease, while reducing the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer.
This clinic meets three days a month. For information on schedule and dates, please contact the Infectious Disease office at 616-685-8200.
