Ukubuka konke

I-Hepatitis C ingaba i-acute noma ingalapheki. Esimweni esilandelayo, igciwane lesifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo C (HCV) lihlala emzimbeni futhi lingaholela ezifweni ezingahlala isikhathi eside.

Ngokusho kweCenters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), phakathi kwabantu abathola i-HCV baba ne-hepatitis engapheli.

Izindaba ezimnandi ukuthi i-HCV iyelapheka manje kunanini ngaphambili, okuchaza izinga layo eliphezulu lokwelashwa. Eqinisweni, uma usucatshangelwa ukuthi welaphekile, ubungozi obuphakathi bokuphindaphinda bungaphansi kwephesenti elilodwa.

Yize izindlela zokwelapha zingcono, kusenokwenzeka ukuthola ukutheleleka okusha ngokuzayo. Noma ngabe unomlando we-hep C noma cha, kubalulekile ukuthatha izinyathelo zokuvikela i-HCV.

Ukwelashwa kwe-HCV

I-Hepatitis C ilashwa ngemithi elwa namagciwane ebizwa ngemithi ye-protease inhibitor. Ithathwe ngomlomo, le mithi ifike ibanga elide maqondana nokusebenza ngempumelelo nokusebenziseka kalula.

Izidakamizwa ze-Hepatitis C zisebenza ngokuvimbela i-HCV ekuphindeni iziphindaphinde emzimbeni. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, igciwane lizozikhiphela lona ngaphandle ukuze ukutheleleka kuphume.

Inkambo ejwayelekile yokwelashwa kwe-hepatitis C iyisidakamizwa somlomo sokulwa namagciwane esithathwa okungenani. Kwesinye isikhathi ukwelashwa kungahamba isikhathi esingangezinyanga eziyisithupha. Ngemuva kwaleli phuzu, udokotela wakho uzokwenza izivivinyo ngezikhathi ezithile ukuqinisekisa ukuthi i-HCV ihambile ngokuphelele.

Ukuze udokotela wakho akubheke “njengokwelapheka” kwesifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo C, kufanele uzuze isimo somzimba sokuzivikela somzimba esaziwa njenge-virgogic response (SVR). Lokhu kubhekisela enanini le-HCV kusistimu yakho.

Igciwane lidinga ukufinyelela emazingeni aphansi ngokwanele ukuthi izivivinyo azikwazi ukulithola egazini lakho amasonto ayi-12 ngemuva kokuqeda ukwelashwa kwakho. Uma lokhu kwenzeka, uthathwa njenge-SVR, noma welashwa.

Lapho nje udokotela wakho enquma ukuthi usufinyelele i-SVR, bazoqhubeka nokuqapha igazi lakho okungenani unyaka. Lokhu kwenziwa ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ukutheleleka akubuyanga. Ukuhlolwa kwegazi njalo kungahlola nokuthi kungenzeka yini ukulimala kwesibindi.

Ukuphindeka kwesifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo C

Cishe amaphesenti angama-99 abantu abazuza i-SVR belashwa i-hepatitis C impilo yabo yonke. Ingozi yokubuyela emuva kwe-hepatitis C ngemuva kwe-SVR ayivamile neze. Futhi, uma usufinyelele i-SVR, awusengozini yokudlulisela i-HCV kwabanye.

Kwezinye izimo, izimpawu zakho ze-hepatitis C zingaphinde zivele ngaphambi kokuba ufike ku-SVR. Kodwa lokhu akubhekwa njengokuphindeka ngoba ukutheleleka akulashwa ekuqaleni. Incazelo engaba khona yokuphindaphinda ukutheleleka okusha ngokuphelele.

Izici zobungozi zokuphinda zitheleleke

Noma ngabe welaphiwe, noma ufake i-SVR kusuka ekwelashweni kwangaphambilini kwesifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo C, lokhu akusho ukuthi uvikelekile ezifweni ezintsha ngokuzayo. Imithi elwa namagciwane isiza ukuqeda izifo ezikhona ze-HCV kuphela. Ngokungafani nezinye izinhlobo zamagciwane, ukuba nesifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo C esikhathini esedlule akusho ukuthi usuke uvikelekile ku-HCV impilo yakho yonke.

Ungaba sengozini eyengeziwe yokuthola i-HCV uma:

• bazalwa phakathi kuka-1945 no-1965
• wathola ukumpontshelwa igazi noma ukufakelwa isitho ngaphambi kuka-1992
• bazalwa ngumama onesifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo C
• une-HIV
• sebenza endaweni yokunakekelwa kwezempilo lapho ungavezwa khona igazi labanye
• ube nomlando wokuboshwa
• usebenzise, ​​noma njengamanje usebenzisa, izidakamizwa ezingekho emthethweni

Ukuvimbela

Njengamanje, awukho umuthi wokugoma otholakalayo wesifo sokusha kwesibindi kohlobo C. Okuwukuphela kwendlela ongagwema ngayo ukuthola i-HCV kungukusebenzisa izindlela zokuzivikela.

Ungasiza ukuvimbela ukutheleleka okusha kwe-hepatitis C ngokugwema okulandelayo:

• ukuya ocansini ngaphandle kwekhondomu noma enye indlela yokuvimbela
• ukwabelana izinaliti nemijovo
• usebenzisa izidakamizwa ezijojowe
• ukuthola ama-tattoos okuzenzela noma ukubhoboza
• ukwabelana ngezinsingo namabhulashi wamazinyo
• ukulimala ngezinaliti emahhovisi odokotela nasezibhedlela

I-HCV ingadala ezinye izimpawu. Kodwa izimo eziningi ze-hepatitis C azitholakali kuze kube yilapho ukutheleleka kufinyelela esigabeni esithuthukile futhi kuqala ukuthinta isibindi.

Kungathatha ukuhlolwa kwe-HCV antibody ukuthi kube nokuhle ngemuva kokuvezwa kwakho kokuqala. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ungadlulisela i-HCV kwabanye ngokungazi ngaphambi kokuba wazi ngokutheleleka kwakho.

Khumbula ukuthi i-SVR ayikuvikeli kunoma yikuphi ukulimala kwesibindi okugcina ngenxa yokutheleleka kwakho kokuqala kwe-HCV. Uma une-cirrhosis eyisisekelo (isibazi sesibindi), udokotela wakho angadinga ukuqapha ukusebenza kwesibindi sakho ukuthola ezinye izimpawu zesifo. Ukufakelwa kwesibindi ngeke kuvimbele ukutheleleka okuzayo, noma.

Ukudla okudlela endlini

Ukwelashwa kwe-hepatitis C okwenziwe abacwaningi kule minyaka eyishumi edlule kusebenza kakhulu kunanini ngaphambili. Abantu abaningi bangalapheka esimweni sabo ezinyangeni ezimbalwa. Futhi, ingozi yokuphindaphinda ngemuva kokufika ku-SVR ayivamile.

Kodwa kusenokwenzeka ukwesuleleka ngesifo esisha se-HCV ngokuzayo. Yingakho kubalulekile ukusiza ukunciphisa ubungozi bokuthola igciwane. Uma unezici ezinobungozi ezingenhla, khuluma nodokotela wakho ngalokho ongakwenza ukusiza ukuvimbela i-hepatitis C esikhathini esizayo.
