Hector, I believe she has been diagnosed with hep C. I think the question is what happens if the hcv patient also tests positive for autoimmune factors.
In some cases SOC is not indicated, but I do not know much about it. You might know more about this situation
Please post your question in the 'Hepatitis Autoimmune Community'.
The community is for People interested in or infected with hepatitis C.
Good luck!
Hector
