Yes, after control of HEPETITIS c, liver function will improve. But it takes months to years to improve.
Also to remember that HEPETITIS c is not completely curable. It can only be controlled to a extent and relapse can happen.
A good diet and lifestyle is another important factor.
Plant based diet is the ideal diet. Discuss in details to understood the diet plan properly.
