I have a freind who is a borderline Hep C case. What can be done to convert him from borderline to negative. The doctor has told him that he should not be worried because it is a borderline case. The doc says that he is a carrier and that there is no medication for it. Can someone comment on the case. Is this something new ? what have people who were borderline cases done whihc this friend of mine can do ?
Hi thanks for asking question.... Your friend is HCV positive borderline. Means his OD optical density value reading by ELISA is near to cut off range ... Not markedly elevated.... In such case it is better to perform confirmatory test for hepatitis c by molecular method or nucleic acid test (NAT)... If he remains positive usually for more than six months then it could be carrier ..... Clinical follow-up necessary...Meanwhile, avoid alcohol with Chat Doctor. . Take carrot, Indian gooseberry, spinach, lemon juice, apple etc. more ... Consult gastroenterologist for your case. You can post your report for further advise. Take care
