This is a question for her specialist.

There isn't much you can do as a non-medical person except maybe to cut back on meat and give more water. You know that hep C can be treated now, don't you? There is a new drug that is giving very good results. I had a friend that got his virus-free result last weekend. Yea! We also had a group member on AC that had good results. Talk to the doctor to see if she might qualify. Her health may be too poor to tolerate the drug.
