Hepatitis c is a infection of the liver which is very difficult to treat and the treatment is given for a very long time and is quite expensive. Despite this there is no guarantee of cure. The best treatment is what is called a interferons, but only few doctors have experience with this. Consult a gastroenterologist.

Steroid responsiveness should be evaluated, both for prognosis (steroid-responsive patients do better) and to guide treatment when needed. Choices for systemic treatment of primary eosinophilia with organ involvement initially include corticosteroids, and interferon (IFN)-alpha for steroid-resistant disease.

Few of the good medicines are contraindicated in renal failure. Interferon therapy can be used safely. Also new oral drugs for hep c are quite good though costly.
Treatment of hep c and remission is a must before transplant. Else complications of hep c like chronic hepatitis and cirrhosis will occur fast because of immunosuppressive drug therapy needed for kidney transplant.
