The good news is that today there are new and exciting prescription medications now available in pharmacies that have been known to eradicate the Hep C virus from the body, hence curing the infected liver from the dreaded Hep C virus.

A person can be considered cured when he/she shows a low level of Hep C virus load in the blood after lab testing and these levels are low for a period of at least 6 consecutive months.

Even if a person is considered cured, he/she must regularly test their liver function due to the fact that having had a Hep C infection in the past greatly increases the chances of the appearance of liver cancer, especially if the hepatitis treatment was initiated at a late stage of the disease.
