Symptoms Of Interstitial Lung Disease
Published on May 06 2010, in the categories: symptoms
Interstitial lung diseases are characterized by abnormalities involving initially the alveolar epithelium and endothelial cells, interstitium support and to a lesser extent, variable, other vascular structures and airways. They form a heterogeneous group of diseases, some of which result from causes easily identifiable, while in others the underlying cause remains obscure.
Although much less common disease of the airways such as COPD, interstitial lung diseases are an important group of diseases associated with disabling symptoms of interstitial lung disease and a rapid clinical deterioration. The terms pneumonia and alveolitis are frequently used to describe the inflammatory process involving the alveolar cells in many diseases, interstitial. In some of these diseases an abnormal arrangement of collagen following the acute inflammatory process, so that pulmonary fibrosis is the term used almost interchangeably with that of interstitial lung disease.
Classification etiology. It is convenient and clinically correct split diffuse pulmonary fibrosis in two broad categories: those with known etiology, which represents about one third of cases, and the etiology unknown. Diagnostic procedures become more sensitive and specific. In the group of known causes, one can still distinguish three main subgroups of interstitial pulmonary fibrosis:
1. That determined by extensive granuloma
2. That result from chronic pulmonary exudates
3. That due to inorganic fibrogenic dust.
After the exclusion of forms of known cause, remains a large group of fibrotic interstitial lung disease. In this group there are diseases with characteristic histopathological aspects, which have become known under the names: idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), diffuse interstitial fibrosis of unknown origin, and cryptogenic fibrosis alveolitis (ACF). Hamman-Rich syndrome, is a rare pathological entity, and characterized by temporal uniformity of the disease, a fibrotic form, rapidly progressive IPF.
In this chapter we will use the first of these synonyms, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) will be first considered some aspects of diffuse pulmonary fibrosis fibrotic diseases common to all, regardless of the cause, then the diseases will be discussed from time to time based on pathogenesis, clinical history, pathophysiology, diagnosis and therapy.
Radiographic
The distribution of radiographic interstitial lung disease is often characteristic of the underlying disease in the upper lobe pulmonary fibrosis is observed in silicosis and in ankylosing spondylitis. Belatedly, in certain interstitial lung diseases, lung fields taking on a beehive, they have observed many shadows ring between 5 and 8 cm in diameter with thin walls from 0.5 to 1 mm. Some authors describe the radiographic changes in the interstitial and air paintings.
This description assumes a perfect correlation between radiographic appearance and histological changes. The description of nodular or reticular shadows, however, is not based on this assumption. Fibrosis of the upper lobe, with loss of lung volume may increase the horizontal fissure and small if any unilateral contracture, because the deviation of the trachea.
Fibrosis of the lower lobe may be accompanied by a progressive elevation of the diaphragm and a loss of lung volume. In any region of the lung may develop emphysematous bubbles, which are commonly a sign of silicosis or advanced sarcoidosis. Most patients present with shortness of breath during physical exercises that, with the progression of the disease manifests itself even at rest. The degree of dyspnea can be extreme and not commensurate with the severity of radiological changes.
The opposite can be observed in sarcoidosis, in which, despite impressive radiographic changes of the lungs, dyspnea may be minimal. And a nonproductive cough is a symptom frequently associated with and often debut. Nonspecific systemic symptoms of interstitial lung disease such as fatigue and weight loss may be observed in about half of cases of interstitial lung disease.

Addisons Disease Symptoms
Published on May 05 2010, in the categories: Addison's
The Addison disease is a very rare, chronic condition that means failure of the adrenal glands. For patients with Addison disease, medication is one of the most common words possible, because they have to constantly take steroids I order to treat the Addison’s disease symptoms. Continuing with medication day after day, most patients with Addison’s disease can go in with their lives. This article will discuss what Addison’s disease is and what the Addison’s disease symptoms are.
I will explain now in a few words what Addison disease means, so that everybody can understand this aspect. The adrenal glands which sit somewhere near the kidneys; on top of them more exactly have an inner core which is called medulla. The medulla is the organ that produces adrenaline. The cortex is very important because it produces cortisol and aldosterone. These two substances are extremely important for the proper functioning of the organism because they fight infections and keep bacteria away. Aldosterone is the one that helps you regulate the consumption of salt and regulates everything I your body. So, as you can see, the medulla and the cortex produce some substances which are essential for life.
Addison’s disease is the disease in which the body is unable to adapt to stress and which may lead to a crisis, called the Addisonian crisis, which is a considered a medical emergency. One of the first causes of Addison’s disease is believed to be discovered by Thomas Addison in 1855 as a result of tuberculosis. In the very poor developed countries, the tuberculosis is considered to be the number one cause of Addison’s disease, because in these countries tuberculosis occurs very often. In other more developed countries, the cause of Addison’s disease seems to be the destructive atrophy. The destructive atrophy affects more women than men and it is a very common cause of Addison’s disease. Unfortunately, the cause of atrophy is yet unknown. In some very rare cases, the causes of Addison’s disease are fungal infections or adrenal cancer.
Now, since we have established what Addison disease is and what are the causes of this disease, we will go on and talk about the Addison’s disease symptoms. Some of the most common symptoms of Addison’s disease are extreme weakness and fatigue, as well as nausea, low blood pressure, vomiting and muscular and joint pain. Since the symptoms progress very slowly, patients do not really bother to see a doctor and in most cases do not even believe it id Addison’s disease.
The symptoms I just talked to you about are quite common and can mislead you, but one of the Addison disease symptoms in particular can tell you f you have this disease or not: skin pigmentation. There are many types of Addison diseases. One of them, called polyglandular Addison disease can kill you if you are hocked or surprised. There are only 6 cases known so far worldwide. The polyglandular Addison disease can kill you while you are watching TV and get shocked by a moment or a scene in a movie. Moreover, the patients suffering from polyglandular Addison disease are forbidden scary movies, because the tension and the surprises might kill them.

Common Symptoms Of Heart Disease
Published on May 05 2010, in the categories: symptoms
Since there are so many diseases that can affect the heart, the symptoms of heart disease can be very numerous. But there are some common symptoms of heart disease that can tell you if something is wrong and if you should go and see a doctor. This article will discuss some of the most common symptoms of heart disease and will describe them.
One of the most common symptoms of heart disease is of course chest pain. This symptom is believed to be number one alarming sign that something is wrong. Most people believe that chest pain is the same with heart pain. In some cases this is true, but in other cases is just an impression. But no matter if this is a heart problem or not, if you feel chest pain you should go see a doctor. You will never be sure what it is until you make some tests, because this term is very imprecise and people describe it in different ways. Moreover, chest pain can last for a few second, minutes or even for a few days.
Another heart disease symptom is heart palpitation. This is a very common symptom and many times can be started by other factor than heart diseases. But just like in the case of chest pain, the doctor is the best person to tell you if everything is all right or not. Heart palpitation means irregular heartbeats.
The next symptom on our list is dizziness. Dizziness will never signify just a heart disease, because dizziness can have a lot of causes and can mean a lot of things. You can get dizzy because you are tired or because you made too much effort. You can be dizzy because you dehydrated or because you did not ate enough. All in one, dizziness is an alarming sign, but does not necessarily mean you have a heart disease. Like in the case of the other symptoms I described, you have to check with the doctor to see if everything is all right.
Fainting or the loss of consciousness is the next symptom on our list. This symptom, which can be very alarming for the patient, as well as for the family and friends, is usually temporary and sudden. Fortunately, this symptom does not necessarily mean you have a heart disease, because fainting usually does not have a medical cause, but sometimes fainting can be very dangerous and you should go and see a doctor.
Another sign is fatigue. And I not talking about the fact that you come home from work and you are tired.
I am talking about constant fatigue, the kind you feel tired all the time, even if you sleep more than usual. This kind of fatigue makes you feel like you do not have energy for anything, not even for a slow walk. You feel tired all the time and you want to sleep constantly. This symptom may mean a lot of other disturbances, but mostly it signifies you have a heart condition.

Symptoms Of Kidney Disease In Dogs
Published on May 04 2010, in the categories: Symptoms of Kidney Disease in Dogs
I read once an article where the author stated that dogs are very much alike humans. His argument was that not only do they feel and recognize emotions, but dogs are also affected by disease similar to the diseases affecting people and have the same symptoms.
This article will discuss one of these disease that affect people and dogs: kidney disease. The article will talk about what is this disease and what the symptoms of kidney disease in dogs are. Once you start noticing the symptoms of kidney disease in dogs, you should know what to feed your dog with from now on. This article will discuss this aspect as well as the tests that are being used to diagnose kidney disease in dogs.
There are two types of kidney failure in dogs: acute kidney failure and chronic kidney failure. The acute kidney failure can lead to death if it is left untreated, because the kidneys are unable to regulate the urine and unable to eliminate all the toxins in the organism.
Chronic kidney disease happens when both kidneys stop functioning. When chronic kidney disease occurs, the kidneys will be permanently damaged in about a year. When this happens, the dog becomes dehydrated and will start drinking more and more water. This is one of the symptoms of kidney disease in dogs, so if you notice your dog is drinking more water than usual, than you should see a vet. The chronic kidney failure affects more often Cockers, Doberman, Poodles, Shin Tzu and Shar- Pei.
Some of the most common symptoms are excessive thirst, vomiting, dehydration and diarrhea. The causes of canine kidney failure are first of all, toxins, drugs, kidney tumors, heart diseases, kidney stones, parasites, viral infections, bacteria and other infectious agents. In most cases, the symptoms of this disease can be cured with medication and flushing the stomach of your pet, in order to evacuate the toxins it ingested, like pesticides or herbicides.
In some cases, some of these toxins can actually come from the dog’s own organism. In this case, the treatment can last for 5 to 8 weeks, but this depends entirely on the chemicals we are talking about. The treatment for canine kidney failure that is most commonly used by vets is intravenous fluid therapy in order to dialyze the blood and purify it. Unfortunately, most dogs die despite this therapy and other therapies applied in the case of kidney disease failure.
The kidney failure is one of the most common causes of death and disease among dogs. The majority of dogs that develop this disease are not older than 10 years. But if the dogs are taken care of and given a proper diet and vitamins, than the symptoms should disappear. Dogs processed food, a lot of water for hydrating the body and the medication prescribed by the doctor should be enough to make your dog feel better. Good luck!

Symptoms Of Canine Kidney Disease

Dogs are people’s best friends. There are a lot of people who appreciate the intelligence and the loyalty of dogs. But dogs, just like humans, are exposed to a variety of diseases and symptoms and need treatment. In this article we will discuss about the symptoms of canine kidney disease. Kidney disease affects the whole system, as kidneys are some of the most important organs, after the heart and the liver. The article will discuss the symptoms of canine kidney disease and how you can help your pet and treat it.
The kidneys keep a certain balance in the organism of humans and dogs, as well. When the kidneys stop functioning, toxins take over the body and build up in huge amounts that will eventually cause health issues. In order to prevent all sorts of dog diseases, you have to make sure you feed your dog with quality food and that you assure them a healthy and balanced diet.
This article is meant to show you how to recognize the symptoms, what the symptoms are, what the treatment is and how you can treat the disease. Acute kidney disease involves a certain trauma that causes the blood pressure to fall and leads to shock. The disease is caused by bacteria, called leptospirosis, by infections, fungus, heart diseases or the ingestion of rat poison. The disease can be treated with antibiotics. The most common symptoms of canine kidney disease are dehydration, pain, low urine or the lack of urine. The diagnosis of canine kidney disease is made with blood tests and urinalysis.
The treatment of this disease can involve dialysis for a short period of time in order to remove all toxins from the body. This will allow the dog’s system to heal. The dialysis can involve two types of treatment: one with the help of a machine and the other by injecting fluids in the dog’s belly.
The chronic kidney disease can be caused by infections, heart problems, physical trauma or the poisoning of the dog. Unfortunately, chronic kidney disease can be present at birth. Some of the chronic kidney disease symptoms are weakness, anorexia, depression, vomiting, dark tongue and smelling breath. The diagnosis is made with tests and urinalysis or ultrasound. The kidney biopsy is another good way to spot the problem.
The best treatment is prevention, of course. But if the damage is already done, then we need other solutions. The treatment can vary depending on the stage of the disease and can include a lot of water all the time, food especially made for dogs with kidney disease that needs to have reduced amounts of protein, minerals and salt, medication for the kidney disease symptoms and a lot of vitamins, like B vitamins.
If your dog has these problems, you should keep a close relationship with your vet and be in touch with everything you need to do in order to cure the symptoms and the disease. You should also be very careful and make sure your dog receives the best treatment. Good luck!

Early Stage Symptoms Of Crohn’s Disease
Published on May 03 2010, in the categories: Chrone
I already made so many articles on the Crohn’s disease signs and symptoms, but apparently it is not enough. Readers seem to be very interested in this disease. So let’s make an article so that everyone can understand and digest all the information on this disease.
The Crohn disease means the inflammation of the tract. The bad news is that this disease can affect the entire tract, starting from the mouth and continuing to the anus. It seems that the Crohn disease usually affects the lower part of the small intestine. Of course, early stage symptoms of Crohn’s disease consist of the inflammation of the tract, pain and diarrhea.
If you have these symptoms, perhaps it is a good idea to go to the doctor. You should also know that if you are a Jew, you have an increased risk of developing this disease. The disease makes no age or sex discriminations, so it does not matter if you are too young. Usually, people think that if they are young, they should not be sick. But this does not apply in the case of Crohn’s disease. The Afro Americans have the lowest risk of developing this disease.
Of course, the next logical step is to talk about what causes the Crohn disease. There are a lot of theories about what causes this disease, but unfortunately, none of these theories have been proven yet. So here are some of the debated theories. People who have this disease have a very special immune system that reacts abnormally to infections. But the tricky part is that specialists do not actually know if the reaction of the immune system is due to the Crohn disease or if it is the cause of this disease.
I already discussed the early stage symptoms of Crohn’s disease. Some of the other symptoms of this disease are weight loss, rectal bleeding, skin problems and fever. Now let’s see how this disease can be diagnosed. If the doctor believes you might have Crohn’s disease, you will be exposed to a series of physical exams and tests in order to see exactly if you have the disease or not. All you have to do if you have these symptoms is go to the doctor and they will tell you what to do.
Like many diseases, Crohn disease can have some complications. One of the most common complications of this disease is the blockage of the intestine. You might also develop ulcer and this disease can affect you vagina, skin or bladder. The nutritional complications of this disease do not surprise anyone. You might have deficiencies of vitamins, proteins and minerals, so it is recommended to take some vitamins if you have Crohn disease.
The treatment for Crohn disease will be prescribed by the doctor, depending on the stage of the disease or the severity of the symptoms. As I said before, you should see a doctor. Good luck!

Lyme Disease Symptoms Cures
Published on May 03 2010, in the categories: Lyme Disease
Lyme disease is not a very serious disease in its early stages, but it can get very serious if it is left untreated. The Lyme disease is caused by tick bites. Ticks are very small insects that suck the blood of deer and other animals and then transmit the infected blood to humans or pets.
Ticks live in the woods and bushes and during summer you should be very careful, because you might be a very good target, especially in the park area. I went through this once and I have to say it is a bit uncomfortable. Usually, you do not even see the tick and you do not even feel the bite. So you usually get the point once you get home and undress and see this red mark on your skin.
The red mark looks like a bull’s eye and it tends to get bigger and bigger. The symptoms of Lyme disease are not extreme. Pain is light, but you might feel sick and dizzy. After I saw the red mark on my skin, I started searching on the internet to see what it is and I discovered this disease of which I have never heard before. But there is a first time for everything. The Lyme disease symptoms cures are quite simple.
I searched on the internet and I saw that the Lyme disease symptoms cures consist of drugs that should be recommended by a specialist. So I went to the doctor and I got some pills. I took them for 2 weeks and then I started feeling better and the red mark was gone.
I have to say that I was pretty scared at the beginning and I am still paranoid when I walk near a tree or a bush or I take a walk in the park with my dog. I am constantly scared that I will get another tick bite or that my dog will be exposed. My dog is so furry, I hardly believe I could see the red mark on its skin.
Anyway, if you are as paranoid as I am than you should know a few basic rules from someone who has been through this. You have to avoid forests, bushes and parks as much as possible during summer. Since we all know this is quite impossible, you should protect your skin with some long and large clothes. This is funny, because you should actually conceive special outfits for the hot summer days especially to be protected against tick bites. Perhaps some Arabic clothes can do the job.
You can find more information on Lyme disease on the internet and more medical data that I am not actually able to offer, because even if I have been through this, I am not a doctor. All I know is that you get a big red mark and it can lead to serious diseases if it is left untreated.

After I saw the red mark on my skin, I started searching on the internet to see what it is and I discovered this disease of which I have never heard before. But there is a first time for everything. The Lyme disease symptoms cures are quite simple.
I searched on the internet and I saw that the Lyme disease symptoms cures consist of drugs that should be recommended by a specialist. So I went to the doctor and I got some pills. I took them for 2 weeks and then I started feeling better and the red mark was gone.
I have to say that I was pretty scared at the beginning and I am still paranoid when I walk near a tree or a bush or I take a walk in the park with my dog. I am constantly scared that I will get another tick bite or that my dog will be exposed. My dog is so furry, I hardly believe I could see the red mark on its skin.
Anyway, if you are as paranoid as I am than you should know a few basic rules from someone who has been through this. You have to avoid forests, bushes and parks as much as possible during summer. Since we all know this is quite impossible, you should protect your skin with some long and large clothes. This is funny, because you should actually conceive special outfits for the hot summer days especially to be protected against tick bites. Perhaps some Arabic clothes can do the job.
You can find more information on Lyme disease on the internet and more medical data that I am not actually able to offer, because even if I have been through this, I am not a doctor. All I know is that you get a big red mark and it can lead to serious diseases if it is left untreated.
Common Symptoms Of Thyroid Disease
Published on Apr 30 2010, in the categories: Tyroid Disease & SYmptoms
Thyroid disease is a pretty complicated condition, an affliction that strikes for causes yet unknown, and which can touch just about anyone. There are, indeed, some measures of protection against this condition, but nothing is guaranteed.
Even the common symptoms of thyroid disease are easy to confuse with something else, because they are not considered physical symptoms by most people. However, maybe we should start from the beginning and explain what thyroid diseases are, how they manifest themselves and what are the most common types of thyroid affliction.
Two of the most often seen conditions relating to the thyroid gland and its functions are hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. With hyperthyroidism, the thyroid gland is much too active, hence the hyper prefix. On the opposite side, in hypothyroidism, the thyroid gland seems to be lazy.
Hypothyroidism is a condition that can make you feel very tired and you could also see some gain in weight. However, there are some symptoms considered common among patients, but which specialists do not always regard as “normal”. These include hair loss, flaking skin and, if you are a woman, heavier and more often menstruation.
For hypothyroidism, some of the most common symptoms include tiredness and fatigue, laziness and a feeling of lacking mood, depression, problems with focusing and clouded judgment, an exaggerated and inexplicable gain in weight, skin that is too dry, rugged or itchy, hair that falls out, a feeling of cold (usually in the arms, legs, nose), problems in defecation (namely constipation), cramping muscles, a more abundant flow during menstruation, reduced timeframes between menstruations and problems with fertility or during pregnancy, maybe even leading to miscarriage.
With hyperthyroidism, the most common symptoms of thyroid disease are somewhat opposite to those seen in the case of hypothyroidism. These include, but are not limited to, a short temper, anxiety, restlessness, a higher amount of sweat, the skin becoming thinner, the hair becoming thinner and brittle, the muscles feeling weak (especially around the biceps, triceps or femoral biceps), hands shaking, panic attacks and panicking, lack of sleep or problems falling asleep, an increased heart rate, bowel movements on a more frequent basis, loss of weight no matter how much you eat and how big your appetite is, an increased timeframe between menstruations and a poorer flow of blood during menstruation.
However, as I have said before, these are merely the common, usual suspect, symptoms and even regarding threes there is no general consensus among specialists. As you can see, most of these symptoms are very easy to confuse with something else, which is why you need the opinion of a specialist and some professional medical tests. Do not diagnose yourself using data obtained through online research.
And remember, although this is a bad illness, with some nasty effects on the body, this is not the end of the road for anything. You can still live a full life, with happiness and accomplishments, despite this setback that you have stumbled upon.

Kidney Disease Symptoms Pain
Published on Apr 30 2010, in the categories: kidney disease
Kidney diseases are very painful and they can be very harsh on the body. A kidney disease will feel like anything but what you would expect from it. When you expect a sharp pain, the pain will be dull, and when you expect dull pain, you will be coiled up like a snake, not knowing which way to go or what to do to relieve some of the pain.
Kidney disease symptoms pain, as I have said before, is a very bad type of pain. It ranks right up there with tooth aches and stomach pain. When you are feeling pain this means that you have some problems which cannot be simply solved by drinking some tea, or taking some medicine. You need to go to the doctor. Stop lying to yourself and start taking care of yourself.
There are many types of kidney diseases, but only some of them have pain as a symptom. Kidney disease symptoms, pain, reasons, developments and cures can be obtained online and offline, but only in theory, if all you do is to ask a friend. Going online and searching for the things you are feeling might give you a general idea of what you are faced with and what you should do to overcome this condition, but what happens if you are wrong? Then you might end up trying to cure a disease you do not have, and, in the process, creating a new disease in your system. What then? You will be faced with two disease, two types of pain, two different sets of pills and cures and so on. Not a very wise choice, is it?
If your back hurts as if you have just lifted something heavy, but you have not, then this might spell a problem with the kidneys. Other red flags include pain during urination, strange coloring of the urine, blood in the urine and so on. Keep in mind that these symptoms may be seen in other diseases as well, which is why you need to consult a specialist or, better yet, have a specialist consult you.
Kidneys are no laughing matter, since they are the gateways through which toxins are eliminated from your system. If the kidneys fail, then you have only a short amount of time to live or, the alternative, you need to spend some time every day, hooked to a machine which literally changes the blood in your system, because your kidneys are no longer up for the task.
Another problem that might occur in the kidneys, which can also cause blood to leak into the urine, are kidney stones. These are bad and mild. They are mild in the sense that this condition is not severe, it will not major damage to your system, but they are bad in the sense that they can cause some serious pain, especially if they are not small, and most of all when they are eliminated. Think about a grain of pepper going through your urinary tract. It is small, indeed, but compared to the narrowness of the canal it will put up one heck of a fight.

What Are Symptoms Of Liver Disease
Published on Apr 28 2010, in the categories: Liver Disease
Dear visitor, with great joy because we have created simple pages and useful for you all, I dedicate to you this other page with the intent to explain the symptom of "abdominal pain", depending on the type of places where it occurs and, above all, the seriousness of the case.
Indeed abdominal pain is always a dangerous trap that may at any time become a surgical emergency, resulting in endangering the life of the patient. In the lines below I will talk more about this particular problem and about what are the symptoms of liver disease. After I will explain what are the symptoms of liver disease, I will finally explain how to approach the patient gastroenterology.
The liver diseases are also called hepatic diseases and include hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Hepatitis is the disease of the liver and it is caused by several viruses. The viral hepatitis are silent diseases, with a very slow evolution, but which can seriously affect the health of the patient if they are left untreated.
This is why it is very important to remember the large number of functions of the liver: eliminates and filtrates the toxins in the organism, deposits fats and sugar and releases them when the body needs them and transforms the aliments and foods in vital and essential elements for life.
Hepatitis A is a very violent disease that can last for days or weeks- depending on the case and then disappears spontaneously. Very often, this disease is hard to diagnose and identify, but fortunately, this disease does not cause permanent lesions of the liver. Hepatitis A does not become a chronic disease and does not evolve into cirrhosis. The best treatment for this disease remains the prevention through correct and adequate hygiene.
The virus of hepatitis A is present in salt and in the feces of infected persons. The virus is transmitted through dirty hands, contaminated foods, defect conducts and the consumption of contaminated water in river and lakes.
The symptoms of hepatitis A are generally very simple and consist of the lack of appetite and vomiting. In an advanced state, the urine has a dark color and the feces are very light colored.
Contamination with hepatitis B is made through vaginal secretions, sperm or by transfusions with infected blood, at the dentist or at the manichiurist, if the tools have not been cleaned and disinfected. The transmission through saliva is very rare. Hepatitis B is a chronic disease that can become very serious if it left untreated.
The symptoms of hepatitis B consist of extreme fatigue, the lack of appetite, abdominal pain, vomiting, etc. For patients with hepatitis B it is recommended to rest in bed so that th disease cures faster. On the other hand, the patients are treated with medicines and the treatment is recommended by a specialist.
Hepatitis C i8s transmitted through different objects that have been contaminated with the saliva of an infected person, like spoons. Moreover, hepatitis C can be transmitted through sexual contact. The treatment consists of drugs that are recommended by the specialist. Hepatitis C does not seriously affect the liver.
