Hepatitt C: Forløp

Innhold i artikkelen

Forløpet av en hepatitt-C infeksjon uten behandling er bare delvis kjent. En regner med at rundt en av fire blir kvitt viruset av seg selv, mens resten utvikler en kronisk infeksjon. Det er funnet at to av ti pasientene med kronisk hepatitt C vil utvikle komplikasjoner innen 20 til 30 år etter smitte dersom infeksjonen ikke behandles. Andelen fortsetter å øke med økende tid etter smitte. Komplikasjonene er økende grad av leverbetennelse, skrumplever, leversvikt og i noen få tilfeller leverkreft. Levertransplantasjon kan være aktuelt i noen tilfeller.

Annonse

Med den medikamentelle behandlingen som nå tilbys alle med kronisk infeksjon, vil de aller fleste bli helbredet fra sykdommen og unngå alle komplikasjonene.
