Avatar m tn adequate immunosuppression should be maintained during treatment. usually treatment would be considered if the patient has stage 2 fibrosis or more on liver biopsy. both intereferon and ribavirin should be used.
163322 tn?1458676408 I thought about treating again but the farther away I got from that first treatment, the more I thought, arrogantly, that my body had some symbiotic relationship with the C virus that kept it in check. I wondered if anything I could do would make much of a difference or if my own immune system would keep me at a 1-2. I did follow the PI development and was excited when FDA approval was given.
232921 tn?1224471661 My doctor recommends waiting for the new treatments due out in a year or so and says if I retreat with the same treatment my chances of clearing the virus are only 20%. My feeling is that since my viral load is so low that the treatment would be very effective if treated now. Another factor is is that I can get this treatment for free, and don't know if it will be so a year from now.
945780 tn?1246670572 t want to just leave you in some retreat for someone else to do whatever treatment wise with seemingly little result. I think they'd much rather have you under treatment where they can ensure you are getting a benefit from it. Not because they are selfish. Because they care. They wouldn't have paid for 3 months at the retreat if they didn't. Please think about it and try and understand what you parents are feeling too. Don't fight with them, help them understand instead.
Avatar m tn I want to know can I retreat for hep c.I have hurd that you can't do the protease inhibitors twice.for what reason I don't know but if not I am considering the old riba/interferon treatment.my aunts friend relapsed from the old treatment and did the riba/interferon a second time and cleared the virus.anyway let me know.
Avatar m tn now after a few years they would like to retreat me again, with the Pegintron peginterferon alfa-2b. I have stage 3 borderline stage 4 fibrosis with spider angioma on neck and chest. I would just like to ask would it be wise to try again or not. doctor says I have a 30% chance of clearing the virus.
232921 tn?1224471661 s not like you did the whole treatment and relapsed. You are not considered a relapser, since you did not finish treatment, so I do believe that the 48 week rule does NOT apply to your case. If I was you, I would retreat now. Nevertheless, I would not be comfortable with only 24 weeks. I would consider doing 32 or 36 weeks. Personally I would not wait until the new drugs come out. Find another doctor and try to explain the situation and find a way out.
Avatar m tn i am getting ready to retreat on the new regimen and was hoping some one could point me some links on treating protocol .
1431734 tn?1421011671 i still feel that we do not have a clear understanding of risk/reward for geno 3 retreat. he was not a null responder as he DID lower the viral load considerably during tx. soooo this means he IS a responder. the virus broke thru by end of tx and he did have nasty sx. when considering retreat there are a number of factors; of course the risk reward is paramount. his disease has progressed and now cirrhotic with early varices in esophagus seen on scan.
215816 tn?1212490407 The HCV VL number was rising, but I expected it to now that I finished treatment. The AST and ALT were slightly out of range but not dramatically. I have my appt with my HCV Dr. , Dr Lennox Jeffers of the University of Miami Eugene Schiff's group, on Feb. 26th so I will let you know how that goes as he wants me to retreat again with weight based ribavarin, daily infergen, and throwing into the mix Alinia. I am looking to retreat probably beginning the last part of April.

Avatar f tn i am 9 months post treatment. had cleared the virus after treatment in June but it came back 3 months post treatment and my viral load shot to 3 million. I started Humic acid in september. In december my viral load was 67,000. in march my viral load was 40,000. seams to be working for me just wanted to let folks know about it.
Avatar f tn After relapse, the patient and doctor should closely review all aspects of the initial treatment to see if a more aggressive approach can be taken. There are many reasons why a person fails treatment but some of those factors can be eliminated such as insulin resistance, increasing riba or interferon dose, changing interferon, or avoiding dose reductions. In my opinion, if relapsers or non-responders can wait for the PI's that would be the wisest thing to do.
Avatar m tn Then in February 2020 I attended a meditation retreat and was eating plant based foods and when I got home I has a gluten free cake and immediately had very bad gas and then a day later had some diarrhea, a minor fever, and severe fatigue and bloat. Since then, I have had regular bouts of bloating, abdominal pain (mainly epigastric region), excessive belching, severe fatigue, and depression.
Avatar n tn Have you heard of that kind of treatment before? Why would the 2nd year be Pegasys alone? What do you do at your center in this situation? Do you feel that it is important to get a viral load test at 4 weeks? How often should the viral load test be done? What is the procedure at your center? Thank you for your advice.
Avatar f tn You relapsed after being clear for one year after TX ?...this is very rare,i think its 2 out of a 1000 chance.
Avatar n tn I completed a 48 week treatment of interferon plus ribavirin. My count started at 14,000,000 IU/mL and was undetected by week 48. One month later it is back, 160 IU/mL. Are there any other treatments available or clincial trials?
317787 tn?1473358451 On Jan 2nd the blood work showed I relapsed and my viral load was 4M. I would like to know how long I should wait to retreat. How should I retreat? I wonder if I had been able to take the full dose of the Peg if I would have had a better chance. The Prodrug affected me so badly that they had to reduce the Peg. I have not taken the R1626 since June of 08, it is now Jan 09 and my immune system is still affected I would appreciate any advice or information you can share.
Avatar f tn Maybe your husband suffered from and still is suffering from depression. Was he treated for depression while on treatment? Is he still being treated? Depression during treatment depression is not that uncommon. His main problem now is his state of mind which has caused you to have a breakdown and separate. His liver disease is not that advanced that it is live threatening. But physiologically the way he is handling it is ruining both your lives.
Avatar f tn --A number of compounds are contra-indicated in patients receiving simeprevir Patients infected with HCV genotype 1 can be treated with an interferon-free combination of daily sofosbuvir (400 mg) and daily simeprevir (150 mg) for 12 weeks (Recommendation B1) (GT4 Recommendation B2) Patients infected with HCV genotype 1 can be treated with an interferon-free combination of daily sofosbuvir (400 mg) and daily daclatasvir (60 mg) 12 weeks in treatment-naïve patients or 24 weeks in treatment-exper
5137013 tn?1364335185 I WAS ALL SET TO GO INTO THE ONE RETREAT THAT I FOUND WOULD TAKE MEDICARE, MY DR CALLED THE RETREAT PER REQUEST OF THE RETREAT, THE RETREAT CALLS ME AND TELLS ME IT WOULD BE BEST TO DO THIS FROM HOME TAPERING WITH MY DR. I HAVE TRIED IN THE PAST ON MY OWN AND I CANT.....
154927 tn?1205242851 s so hard to make that decision on whether or not to retreat. In my case it was a no brainer because I have Stage 3, Grade 3-4 liver disease. If I was a stage 1-2 I'm not so sure I would have jumped right back on the treatment bandwagon. Then again, I'm also the kind of person what would always wonder "what if" if I had not tried treatment again. You pretty much have to use the same guidelines +1 more when making the decision to re-treat or not.
Avatar n tn t understand I why I was so upset. And the cycle continues. Can that be depression? Or is depression just a constant thing?
