SUMMARY. The article presents literature review on diagnostic, treatment and prevention of hepatitis C in the primary health care system.
Problems of taking history, physical examination and methods of laboratory-functional testing including biochemical markers – alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, albumin, whole protein of blood, prothrombin time, general blood indexes and also ultrasound examination of blood have been presented. For the diagnostic and monitoring of infection caused by hepatitis C virus two types of investigations have presented: serological for determination of antibodies to HCV (anti-HCV) and molecular-biologic investigations for the detection of RNA of virus (RNA HCV).
It has been paid a special attention on non-medication (changing life-style) and medications methods of treatment of chronic hepatitis C in the form of combination Peg-INF-α-2а (pegasis) andα-2b (pegintron) with ribavirine (Kopegus).
