Hepatitis
C viral infection represents a major concern to the world due to its
complications on the liver on the long run. Unfortunately, prevalence in Egypt is one of
the highest ratios worldwide.
The virus
only grows within liver cells ( hepatocytes), replicate, comes out the cell and
re-infect other cells . It directs most of functions to its own replication.
The determinant in limiting its invasion is the immunity challenge.
Many therapeutic trials were shown up and showed
moderate and promising success as interferon therapy. Potentiation of normal
immunity is greatly advisable to overcome the spread of this infection. Many
herbals were also tried and recorded to achieve fair success.
It is not horrible to understand that, viral
infection needs from 15-40 years to show liver cirrhosis, among cirrhotics, 5-8
% develop liver cancer.
