To your Post Skewed,,, I think that the Metabloome profile will reveal more about the virus and it's effects but a Lot of data has to be collected and analyzed, Then Science will have to find patterns, then connect those patterns to the symptom. This will allow us to know what is going on in real time. Then possibly predictions can be made after we study even more.

Yes, so many variables; even genetics and a person's individual chemistry play a role. Much of it we have no control over. For most people it will take decades to progress to cirrhosis. For a minority of people it won't progress to cirrhosis in the span of their lifetime. It tends to progress faster as we age. There are more exceptions than there are rules when it comes to progression rates.

There is no set formula to predict how the hep c virus will advance. As a general rule, it progresses very slowly, but factors such as alcohol use and drug use can exacerbate the progression. Some people will tell you that the ALT/AST values are an indicator of the scaring of the liver and others like to look at the viral load as an indicator of the disease progression, but I don't think either can predict how the disease will progress. It is not a linear or geometric progression because there are so many variables that come into play.
You probably should be taking supplements to help protect your liver until you are treated. My ALT values will fluctuate from the upper 60s to the low 200s and my viral load is usually in the range: 400,000 - 900,000.

I wanna know what is the growth ratio of Hep C. Does anyone knows that? In how many months it grows or it differs from person to person?
