Welcome at Chat Doctor I have gone through your query and being your doctor I completely understand your health concerns.... Based upon the history you have provided in my opinion nose bleed is due to low platelet count... Do check your platelets levels since in chronic HCV a condition called Hypersplenism occur, in which enlarged spleen traps platelets and circulating pool of platelets get low. Apart from this interferon Also suppresses the bone marrow which is another contributing factor to low platelet count... Do consult your hepatologist so that timely appropriate actions can be taken.  Hope your query is adequately answered.  Regards Chat Doctor.
