❓Q: Can I have gene therapy if I’ve had hep C❓

A: Yes, as long as you have been cured or you are HCV PCR negative (no active virus in your blood) and your liver is showing signs that it is functioning normally.

Talk to your doctor about this and they may refer you to a liver specialist for some tests to show that your liver is healthy:

🩸 A liver assessment with an ultrasound
🩸 A fibrosis assessment via FibroScan® or another non-invasive assessment such as shear wave elastography or ARFI (Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse)
🩸 Blood tests.

If you are treated with gene therapy for haemophilia, your liver function will be monitored as part of routine care.

There are things you can do to prepare your liver for gene therapy.

Fatty (steatotic) liver disease is a worldwide problem. Strategies to help with this are to have a healthy balanced diet, reduce your weight if you are overweight, moderate your alcohol intake and be as active as you can.

Another strategy is to avoid medications that are slightly toxic to your liver where possible – let your doctor know you are trying to keep an eye on your liver and ask them about medication options.

🩸Cured of hep C?🩸
Has your liver recovered?

Although you might think it’s all OK, you may not notice liver disease symptoms. Ignoring your liver health can have serious consequences. If you don’t know the status of your liver health when you were cured, find out today.

Take action. Contact your hepatitis doctor or your GP to check your liver test results. Ask them if you need ongoing follow-up with a liver specialist.
For example, if you have cirrhosis or extensive liver scarring and are cured, you will still need a liver ultrasound scan every 6 months long-term.

Over 30 years of age? Have a bleeding disorder? Do you know your hepatitis C status?

You could be at risk if you ever had clotting factor or a blood transfusion before 1993 – even once.
Symptoms of hep C are not always obvious.

Have you asked your doctor about hep C testing – they are free blood tests.
Don’t delay! It’s time for action.Hep C can be cured. Treatment is simple.

We also offer meetings and peer support opportunities. HFQ operates as a not for profit organisation run by a board of management and its effectiveness is dependent upon the goodwill of many volunteers which includes people affected personally by bleeding disorders and representatives of governments, health sector and industry who may also contribute their skills, knowledge and time to achieve common goals.
