Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. You are having hepatitis c virus infection. ... It is since ten years so chance of cirrhosis and portal hypertension is there ...USG and serum albumin will be useful for that .... If portal hypertension there (suspected by splenomegaly and ascites if present) than beta blocker needed . For edema low salt diet taken and diuretic if needed .... If needed than HCV RNA done to detect if it is in active stage...for which antiviral medication needed ... Daily take grinned spinach and carrot juice ... According to your disease severity treatment individualized. Take care Advise
