My mom didn't have symptoms. And she had that for decades.

The only symptom I ever saw was pain from her. Regarding her kidneys

She didn't have jaundice, she didn't throw up So unless she somehow got kidney disease AFTER she had hep c

When I wasn't even around

When she doesn't drink

It sounds like she already had kidney problems, or they were starting, while she had Hep C. You saw one symptom, but she may have had others without mentioning them. It’s not that the kidney disease developed after Hep C, it’s just that it was diagnosed fully afterward.

If you were developing kidney problems, even a test from a year ago wouldn’t look as normal as yours does. You don’t need a kidney function test every year, even those with kidney issues, don’t. Your last test is more than sufficient.

Even if you did have Hep C, just taking care of your kidneys like you’re doing now is enough, you’ll be fine. Preventing kidney problems is actually pretty straightforward, even with Hep C.
