Some individuals with chronic hepatitis C may not experience any symptoms at all. Because the liver has strong compensatory capacity, the condition is typically only discovered during routine health checkups or after prolonged illness when discomfort symptoms appear. With active cooperation in treatment, a complete cure is possible. The primary treatment for this disease is antiviral therapy. Under a doctor's guidance, interferon-based treatments such as pegylated interferon, regular interferon, or alpha interferon are commonly used. These should be combined with ribavirin tablets, along with hepatoprotective medications such as compound glycyrrhizin tablets, silymarin capsules, and reduced glutathione tablets.

Patients must actively cooperate with their doctors' treatment plans and schedule regular follow-up visits at the hospital.
