Addressing Infections

Since chronic infections like hepatitis C are leading causes of MCS, early detection and treatment of these infections are crucial. Vaccinations, such as for hepatitis B, and practicing safe behaviors can prevent infections that might lead to MCS. Reducing the risk of infections is a primary prevention strategy.

Managing Autoimmune Conditions

For those with autoimmune diseases, regular monitoring and effective management can help prevent MCS. By keeping these conditions under control, the likelihood of developing MCS-related complications decreases. Working closely with healthcare providers ensures optimal management of autoimmune disorders.
