How Can Hepatitis C Be Treated?

My husband has Hepatitis C stage 4 did not clear medicine trials. He is experiencing symptoms that are disorientation that comes on all of a sudden where he can t talk and can t function somewhat clammy feels nauseous for a period of about a minute then he gets back to himself but is wiped out afterwards. usually only happens in the morning/afternoons never in the evening curious to know if this is possible due to his liver disease with his hepatitis c got a CAT scan came back fine and blood work in the normal ranges. Going to the neurologist tomorrow but I don t have alot of faith in a diagnoses because he only gets these symptoms once a day to once every other day. Any suggestions what to possible look for?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Since he is having neurological symptoms, he has got very advanced stage of the disease with central nervous system involvement. Complete cure is not possible and only supportive management is possible at this stage.
The best treatment option is liver transplantation and you can discuss this with your doctor.
Thanks
