spontaneous cleared hep c
Hi Dr,
Just wondering, I was cleared of Hep C about 3 years ago now. I had second stage scarring but cleared the virus after contracting hep B.
I still have small ridges on my nails that i got when i had an active virus. Will this go? I had my liver function tested recently and it was good, my iron a little low. Can the virus come back?

not sure about the nail findings. don't think due to any liver condition. If the HCV is undetectable in the blood more than 1 year after successful treatment I have never seen anyone recur. iron deficiency can cause some nail problems.

the fibrosis in the liver will regress but often will take up to a couple of years.
Dr will my liver regenerate and if so how long would this take?
