Assalamo alaikum.
Thank you for posting query at HCM.
yellow color of eyes (sclera) indicates due to high bilirubin levels termed as "Jaundice". Jaundice can be due to hemolytic anemia, hepatitis OR gall bladder pathology.
Your daughter has a diagnosis of HepC.
you need NOT worry.
HepC can be cured completely now. There are drugs like combination of sofosbuvir/ribavirin which may completely aid in curing the disease.
-your daughter also adviced a special diet ( fat free).
- avoid alcohol and i/v drug abuse
- lemon juice daily
- liv52 OR udoliv maybe also taken after advice from hepatologist
- rest and less activity
You may visit hepatologist and take your blood reports as soon as possible.
if any further questions, feel free to ask.
