(2) Routine liver function examination. It is mainly used to judge the degree of liver injury. In most cases, the liver of patients with hepatitis C will be damaged to some extent, but some patients will not have abnormal liver function. The cost ranges from tens to two hundred yuan.
(3) Detection of hepatitis C antibody. It is one of the more important testing items to diagnose whether patients are infected with hepatitis C virus and whether they are contagious by testing hepatitis C symptom antibodies. There are certain differences due to regional economic level, reagents and equipment selected by hospitals, and charging standards of various hospitals. However, under normal circumstances, the cost of hepatitis C antibody examination is about tens of yuan.
(4) b-ultrasound examination. By doing B-ultrasound examination for patients with hepatitis C, we can know whether the liver damage has changed morphologically, which plays an important role in the treatment of patients with hepatitis C. Hepatitis C is seriously harmful to the health of patients, so we should treat it promptly and effectively. If you only do B-ultrasound, the cost will probably be around 45 yuan.
In addition to the cost, you should also pay attention to the following matters:
1, hepatitis C antibody belongs to companion antibody and often exists with the existence of hepatitis C;
2. Hepatitis C antibody disappears later than HCVRNA, but if hepatitis C is completely eliminated, it will generally disappear within 3 months;
3. Hepatitis C antibody has high sensitivity, which may lead to false positive;
4, the first diagnosis of hepatitis C, under normal circumstances, must be positive for hepatitis C antibody and HCVRNA;
5. Patients with clear epidemiological evidence, such as blood transfusion and dialysis, with elevated ALT and negative HCVRNA can be cautiously diagnosed as hepatitis C;
6. Have a clear history of hepatitis C, that is, both hepatitis C antibody and HCVRNA are positive. At present, hepatitis C antibody continues to be positive, suggesting that hepatitis C still exists.
To sum up, through the above introduction about how much it costs to check hepatitis C, I have an understanding of this problem, hoping to bring help to everyone. Patients' friends must be found early and treated early to get health.
