What Causes Pressure Feeling In Liver?
Hello, I am 31 years old male. I had liver expansion and Jaundice 14 years back. Last year my HCV was positive and after HCV Qualitative RNA (PCR method) test, virus was "NOT Detected". But after this test result i was having a little buden on my liver (right side of stomach). Pain was very little that i can ignore it. 1 month back i had ULTRASOUND report of liver expansion that was all normal. Everything was normal in that report but sometimes i get same little burden on my that side. Please explain what should i do.

Hello thanks for asking question.
Noted you had infection with hepatitis c.
Just now you have negative HCV RNA .suggesting infection might not in active stage...
But confirm negative infection of it by performing HCV antibody testing by ELISA.
If it is negative then No worry.
Liver affected in this infection .so feeling heavyness...
Meanwhile until report done take low fat diet.
More fruits...
Avoid alcohol....
Take care.
Hope your concern solved.

Hi thanks for contacting health care magic.
The both test done at how much interval ???
Have you done both test within short time of 3 to 5 days ???
I am asking this because let me know you hepatitis c once infected in approx 5 to 10% case with good immunity it can be resolved.
So second test PCR might be negative if done after few days as infection might resolved....
And yes for the first time result may false positive ....So which method was applied rapid or ELISA ??
Now to be sure repeat test for HCV with ELISA method and rapid card test once to get confirmed about clearance of infection..
Take care..,.
