Is hepatitis C Jaundice reversible when you start treatment?

i got diagnose with hep c 4 months ago but i just started noticing my eyes are turning extremely yellow , i havent started treatment yet though. i just wanted to ask for those who have gone through the treatment and was successful, do their eyes still remain yellow or does it reverses? thanks

a lot of idiots answering your question. sorry about that.

hcv and jaundice can fluctuate with the disease. treatment isn't simply because your turning yellow, treatment is to sustain the virus from replicating and if you respond post a year treatment, your considered cured.

not all secondary issues or diseases of having hcv will resolve, however, many improve. being jaundice will certainly clear with antiviral chemtotherapy.

the reason why some have yellowing eyes or yellow-ish gray skin is because your body has an overload of billibubin- a bi-product of having hcv.

you will need to see a gastrointerologist and he can better explain how hcv destroys the body and what treatment can help accomplish. a good doctor will know what pre-testing is needed.

I would also like to tell you that many of us with hcv have fatty liver or the scientific term is NASH. With that alone a person can tend to see yellowing of the eyes....it is due to fatty deposits.

Best of luck to you!

Thank you...however, it wasn't too difficult answering the question given the fact the others couldn't answer without being morons. :O) best of luck to you! Report Abuse

Yes, jaundice is curable, but unfortunately hepatitis C is not. The disease can be well-managed by medications and it's very likely that you will be able to live a completely normal lifestyle. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with what specific medications are used to manage Hep-C, so you'll have to visit your physician to get some prescriptions.

The Yellowness will go away , could be a few days or weeks.More importantely you better tell your partners you have Hep C , yuck.

listen lady,i dont know if you know,but there is a new flu that broke out
i think u should be more worried about that than yellow eyes
