Thank you so much for your reply.

Just to add I was infected with hep c for 10 years and had totally normal liver function testing. I had hep c for 30 years before I was diagnosed with cirrhosis.

The only way to know would be to have a hep c antibody test and it that is positive then have a test for the hep c virus HCV RNA by PCR.

However the best and only person to determine what testing is needed and diagnose you is a doctor
