Hi my sister had Hep C and was treated with Harvoni about 1 yr ago. Now the Hep C is gone, but she continues to internal bleeding. Three or four bouts of this since August. Doctors can not find where the blood is coming. They have cauterized a couple of small Variocese but this keeps happening. The most recent on Friday, they could not find any reason for the blood. Did Endoscopy and CT scan and no leaks. But she throws up pure blood. What could be causing this???
Hello. Thanks for asking on Chat Doctor. Hepatitis c treatment would not cause bleeding. However, an underlying liver ailment might. Liver produces coagulation factors and impaired liver function can lead to bleeds. Also, portal hypertension associated with liver disorders can lead to enlarged veins in lower end of esophagus leading to bloody vomiting. I think consult a gastroenterologist. He might just do an endoscopy to see what's wrong and treat it. Thanks.
