Chronic hepatitis C is a long-term viral infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which can silently cause progressive liver scarring over many years if left untreated. The good news is that hepatitis C is now considered curable: modern direct-acting antiviral (DAA) tablets achieve cure rates above 95% in most patient groups. Treatment typically involves taking one or two tablets once a day for 8 to 12 weeks, with very few side effects for most people. A blood test 12 weeks after the last tablet confirms whether the virus has been completely cleared — a result known as sustained virologic response, which is considered a permanent cure. Before starting treatment, the liver is assessed through blood tests and non-invasive imaging to understand the degree of any scarring and guide the choice of medication.
Estimated cost: ~$300 – $500
Typical tests for this treatment: HCV RNA (PCR) test — confirms active infection and baseline viral load, HCV genotype testing, Liver function tests (ALT, AST, bilirubin, albumin, INR), CBC (complete blood count), Kidney function tests (creatinine, eGFR), FIB-4 score or transient elastography (FibroScan) — liver fibrosis staging, Abdominal ultrasound, Hepatitis B surface antigen and HIV screening. Done in India before treatment begins. Cost varies with case complexity.
Estimated cost in India: $1,500 – $3,500
Treatment duration in India: ~2 weeks (~4 hospital visit days across the full span)
