Gastro Indore provides hepatitis C treatment in Indore for patients infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV), using modern antiviral therapy, accurate diagnostic testing, and continuous liver monitoring. The clinic operates from the Shalby Institute of Gastroenterology inside Shalby Hospital, Indore, and treats all forms of viral hepatitis, including hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E.
Hepatitis C is a silent disease. Most people carry the virus for years without symptoms while it slowly damages the liver. By the time fatigue, jaundice, or abdominal swelling appears, the infection may have already caused fibrosis or cirrhosis. Untreated chronic hepatitis C is a leading cause of liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer.
The good news is that hepatitis C is now curable in most patients. Modern direct-acting antiviral (DAA) tablets clear the virus in over 95 percent of cases, usually within 8 to 12 weeks of treatment. The liver specialists at Gastro Indore, Dr. Ajay Jain, Dr. Shohini Sircar, and Dr. Sudhanshu Yadav, diagnose hepatitis C accurately, prescribe the right antiviral regimen, and monitor patients through to confirmed cure.
If you have tested positive for hepatitis C, have abnormal liver reports, or believe you may have been exposed to the virus, book a consultation with a hepatitis C specialist at Gastro Indore. Call +91 98936 88792 or message the clinic on WhatsApp.
Hepatitis C treatment is antiviral medical care that removes the hepatitis C virus from the body and prevents further liver damage. At Gastro Indore, treatment includes confirmatory blood testing, assessment of liver damage using liver function tests and imaging such as FibroScan and ultrasound, a course of direct-acting antiviral tablets, and follow-up testing to confirm the virus has been cleared. A patient is considered cured when the virus remains undetectable 12 weeks after completing treatment.
Hepatitis C spreads through infected blood, most commonly through unsterile injections or medical equipment, blood transfusions done before routine screening, unsafe tattooing or piercing, and shared razors or needles. It does not spread through casual contact, sharing food, or hugging. Many patients discover the infection only during routine blood donation screening or pre-surgical testing, which is why doctors at Gastro Indore recommend testing for anyone with possible past exposure.
Gastro Indore delivers complete hepatitis C care at a single clinic in Indore, from first test to confirmed cure, so patients do not need to coordinate between multiple labs and specialists.
Gastro Indore confirms hepatitis C infection with antibody testing followed by HCV RNA (viral load) testing. The viral load confirms whether the infection is active and provides the baseline for measuring treatment response.
Liver damage staging
Before starting antivirals, the specialists assess how much damage the virus has already caused. Gastro Indore uses liver function tests, abdominal ultrasound, and FibroScan to check for fibrosis and cirrhosis. Staging decides the treatment duration and the follow-up plan.
Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy
The liver specialists prescribe modern direct-acting antiviral tablets, the current global standard for hepatitis C. DAA therapy is taken orally, typically for 8 to 12 weeks, has minimal side effects compared to older interferon injections, and cures more than 95 percent of patients.
Treatment for cirrhosis and complications
For patients whose hepatitis C has progressed to cirrhosis, Gastro Indore manages complications such as portal hypertension, ascites, and variceal bleeding. Endoscopic procedures are performed with hospital-grade safety inside Shalby Hospital, Indore.
Twelve weeks after treatment ends, Gastro Indore repeats the HCV RNA test to confirm a sustained virological response, which means cure. Patients with pre-existing cirrhosis continue periodic monitoring, including liver cancer surveillance with ultrasound, even after the virus is cleared.
Family screening and prevention guidance
The doctors advise testing for household members who may share exposure risks and guide patients on preventing transmission during and after treatment.
Liver transplant evaluation for advanced cases
For the small number of patients with decompensated cirrhosis or liver failure, Gastro Indore guides liver transplant evaluation and post-operative care in coordination with Shalby Hospital, Indore.
Hepatitis C treatment at Gastro Indore is for anyone with a confirmed or suspected HCV infection. You should consult a hepatitis C doctor in Indore if any of the following applies:
Hepatitis C treatment is effective at every stage, including in patients who already have cirrhosis. Curing the virus stops further damage and reduces the risk of liver cancer, even when some scarring has already occurred. Gastro Indore also treats hepatitis A, B, D, and E, so patients with any form of viral hepatitis can be evaluated at the same clinic.

Get tested and confirmed
Your doctor orders HCV antibody and viral load tests to confirm active infection, along with liver function tests to assess liver health.
Complete liver staging
Ultrasound and FibroScan determine whether the virus has caused fibrosis or cirrhosis. This decides your exact regimen and duration
You receive a prescription for direct-acting antiviral tablets, typically once daily for 8 to 12 weeks, with scheduled reviews to track viral load and manage any side effects.
Confirm your cure
Twelve weeks after finishing treatment, a final viral load test confirms the virus is gone. Patients with cirrhosis continue periodic liver monitoring at the clinic.
Many patients receive a positive antibody result from a blood camp or lab package and panic. Gastro Indore confirms whether the infection is active, explains the report in plain language, and lays out a clear treatment path in a single consultation.
Hepatitis C found during pregnancy planning or pre-surgical testing
A positive HCV report before surgery or pregnancy raises urgent questions. The specialists at Gastro Indore assess infection status quickly and coordinate treatment timing with your surgeon or obstetrician.
Abnormal liver reports with hidden hepatitis C
Chronic hepatitis C is a common hidden cause of persistently raised liver enzymes. Gastro Indore screens for viral hepatitis in every unexplained abnormal liver report, so the real cause is treated rather than just observed.
Patients treated years ago with interferon injections, or who abandoned treatment midway, often assume nothing more can be done. Modern DAA therapy at Gastro Indore cures most of these patients, including many who failed older treatments.
Hepatitis C with cirrhosis
Patients who already have cirrhosis need both viral cure and complication management. Gastro Indore treats the virus and simultaneously manages portal hypertension, fluid buildup, and variceal bleeding risk at Shalby Hospital, Indore.
Fear of infecting family members
Patients often worry about spreading the virus at home. The doctors at Gastro Indore explain exactly how hepatitis C does and does not spread, arrange family screening where sensible, and remove unnecessary fear from daily life.
Gastro Indore is led by Dr. Ajay Jain, Senior Gastroenterologist and Liver Specialist, with Dr. Shohini Sircar and Dr. Sudhanshu Yadav, consultant gastroenterologists. The team brings over 30 years of combined experience in liver disease and treats all five types of viral hepatitis.

Complete testing and treatment under one roof
Consultation, liver function testing, ultrasound, FibroScan, endoscopy, antiviral prescription, and cure confirmation all happen at one clinic in Indore, with no running between labs and hospitals.
The clinic treats hepatitis C with current direct-acting antiviral regimens, the same global standard of care, selected according to your liver stage and medical history.

The total cost of hepatitis C treatment depends on the tests required, the antiviral regimen prescribed, and the treatment duration your liver stage requires. Call +91 98936 88792 for an estimate specific to your case.
Yes. Modern direct-acting antiviral tablets cure more than 95 percent of hepatitis C patients, usually within 8 to 12 weeks. Cure means the virus is undetectable in the blood 12 weeks after completing treatment. The liver specialists at Gastro Indore confirm every cure with a follow-up viral load test.
Most people with hepatitis C have no symptoms for years. When symptoms appear, they include fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, dark urine, jaundice, and abdominal discomfort. Because the disease is silent, testing after any possible blood exposure is the only reliable way to detect it early.
Hepatitis C spreads through infected blood. Common routes in India include reused needles or syringes, blood transfusions before donor screening became routine, unsafe dental or surgical procedures, and unsterile tattooing or piercing. It does not spread through food, water, hugging, or sharing utensils.
A gastroenterologist or hepatologist treats hepatitis C. At Gastro Indore, Dr. Ajay Jain, Dr. Shohini Sircar, and Dr. Sudhanshu Yadav treat hepatitis C and all other forms of viral hepatitis at Shalby Hospital, Indore.
Diagnosis starts with an HCV antibody test. A positive antibody test is followed by an HCV RNA viral load test, which confirms whether the infection is active. Gastro Indore also performs liver function tests, ultrasound, and FibroScan to measure existing liver damage before treatment.
Most patients complete direct-acting antiviral treatment in 8 to 12 weeks, taking one tablet daily. Patients with cirrhosis may need a longer course. Cure is confirmed by a viral load test 12 weeks after the last tablet.
Direct-acting antivirals are significantly safer and better tolerated than older interferon injections. Most patients experience few or no side effects. The doctors at Gastro Indore review your other medications before prescribing to avoid drug interactions.
Relapse after a confirmed sustained virological response is rare. However, curing hepatitis C does not create immunity, so reinfection is possible with new blood exposure. Patients with cirrhosis also continue liver monitoring after cure because prior scarring still carries risk.
Yes. Patients with cirrhosis benefit substantially from hepatitis C cure, which halts further viral damage and lowers liver cancer risk. Gastro Indore treats the virus and manages cirrhosis complications together, with transplant evaluation available at Shalby Hospital for advanced cases.
