Trestment scheduled for 12 weeks.

CT was unremarkable except liver 8mm hypodensity in hepatic segment 2, too small to characterize. Alt 170, AST 124, alpha fetoprotein serum 20, 9, bilirubin .6, IGG serum 1,437, creatinine .72, hemoglobin 16.5, hematocrit 50.1, MPV 13.1, platletes 32, mutation S62T/Y93H, HCV realtime 3,820,000, HCV log 6.58

I also have itching. It was occasional before treatment. Now it starts 30-60 min after taking Mavyret with my last late evening meal. The itching is fairly intense for aprox 8 hrs then tapers off.

I started treatment 9-19’19, GT 3a, 40 years ago I had numerous transfusions, diagnosed approx 2006. Age 70. Fibroscan was inconclusive due to inflamation; showed stage 4 but it is suspected stage 3. A 1 cm lesion was detected via C T.

Over the past 5 years I have developed type 2 diabetes, psoriasis slight murmur and hypertension. I have familial ITP diagnosed 40 years ago with occurence in my daughter and granddaughter – they do not have HCV. My platelets have gone down gradually over the years and it is thought they may improve slightly, – I have no bleeding problems.

I am hopeful the increased itching is a sign the virus is being killed off quickly and will become less intense. Has anyone else had similar issues and experience with Mayvret and or treatment progression and or results of treatment? What may I possibly expect?
