Abstract

We examine how well ozone/oxygen gas therapy treats chronic hepatitis C patients with varying degrees of liver fibrosis. Also to study the effect of giving multiple anti-oxidants with the ozone/oxygen gas mixture, to see if this addition would have any additive or synergistic effect. Two hundred and twenty three patients with chronic hepatitis C. Liver biopsies were carried out at after 12weeks of administering an ozone/oxygen gas mixture. The mean stage of fibrosis decreased from 1.98 to 1.41 and the mean grade of inflammation decreased from 10.08 to 7.94, both with a p value less than 0.001. After 12weeks of treatment, mean PCR values increased. No single significant complication was recorded in a total of >9,000 settings of ozone therapy. Ozone oxygen gas mixture is safe and effective in treatment of hepatic fibrosis due to chronic viral hepatitis C.
