hep c and kidney failure
i have a friend who has been on treatment for at least 4-5 years or so, 2 or 3 rounds with interfuron and riba and also daily interfuron maintenance, he has cirrosis and is on dialysis now for kidney failure... im wondering if kidney failure is a normal progression of hep c when you are at end stage or if this could have happened because of being on meds for so long...
any info would be appreciated thanks...

I have hep C and one kidney, stage 2 liver disease, they would not and will not give me the treatment they said it would wipe out my kidney can not get another the hep c will just wipe it out in time. I'm 51 said my liver should hold out for rest of life now only if kidney will, sorry about your friend may-be stopping treatment will help improve health?
i would think from both. wishing your friend the best.
