Do hepatitis make your skin itch?

i have hepatitis c and my hands itch feet legs everything is that coming from the disease or my nerves and if its coming from the disease does that mean that im at the last stage of the disease and what treatments are available for me ive been diagnosed 2 months ago and i havent seen a doctor yet umm i want to know how serious is this disease that i have, and how would i know when its to late for treatment

hepatitis c is a serious disease! you should already be on antiviral chemotherapy had you done follow up labs and a biopsy of the liver.

hepatitis c will cause liver damage, thus, your liver is not functioning properly, it could cause toxicity buildup in the blood and cause the itching. *bulibrium will cause itching and is also associated with yellowing of the skin and eyes due to kidney malfunction...

hepatitis c is not just a liver disease, however, it is called hepatitis because with out the liver, the virus would not be able to send it's genetically changed virons each cycle. it wears your liver down, causes fibrosis and can cause cirrhosis (hardening of the liver), liver failure and even liver cancer.

HCV is found in all samples of tissue all through out the body. When the liver is effected, the other organs have to work harder to function.

HCV causes many bi-directional diseases....I would see a gastrointerologist and get on the chemo wagon.

Good luck
*as one poster has stated, diabetes can cause the same issue...diabetes type 2 can go hand in hand with hcv as well as other disorders of the liver...

everyone has a chance on antiviral chemotherapy...no matter what your genotype. even those genotypes that do not respond to antiviral chemotherapy has a benefit of treatment. i would seek more information from a gastrointerologist.

good luck and if you need to talk i'm at heppystephy@yahoo.com Report It

you want to see a doctor ASAP cause treatment delay can be quickly fatal if treatment is warranted (that your doctor will determine based on some tests). It can cause itching if your bilirubin is elevated, once again need to see the doctor. It is fatal if not treated appropriately, feel free to email me

i dont know but a girl i was with did

Maybe this site will help you...http://www.epidemic.org/

If you were diagnosed2 months ago and havent seen a doctor who diagnosed you?Diabetes can also make your skin itch. look the disease up on internet. go to medical questions .com

Hepatitis C is a liver disease. And liver is essential in cleaning out toxic wastes and production of blood components so if it is badly infected with virus, then this will cause the dysfunctions of the whole system.Yes, skin is affected.Jaundice is first then itchiness, roughness will occur also. I can not tell you what stage it is because actually, once diagnosed it should have given medications especially for the liver.Antiviral meds could help. I just hope your body is producing the antibody now. I'm not so aware of the cure rates for this, you can check the website for statistics BUT some end up as carriers. Hope this helps. God bless!
