Acute or Chronic Jul 10, 2001 Is there a way to determine a diagnosis of Hepatitis C, acute or chronic? If so how? Can a determination of the initial virus diagnosis being acute or chronic still be determined after 8 mos of treatment of rebretron-interferon. I am responding to the treatment very well. |

Response from Dr. Feinberg
 If you are already being treated for hepatitis C, your doctor has already done blood tests to determine that it is chronic. Any infection that isn;t recent should have a positive "IgG" antibody test for the diisease in question. That means that you should have a positive hepatitis C IgG test. Treatment will not alter that. |
