Hepatitis C
Home / Service Detail
Hepatitis C is a viral infection caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which primarily affects the liver. It can lead to both acute and chronic liver diseases, with chronic Hepatitis C potentially causing severe complications like cirrhosis or liver cancer.
Key Facts
- Transmission: HCV spreads through contact with infected blood, often via shared needles, unscreened blood transfusions, or from mother to child during childbirth. Sexual transmission is less common.
- Symptoms: Acute Hepatitis C often has mild or no symptoms, but chronic cases may include fatigue, jaundice, dark urine, abdominal pain, and swelling.
- Diagnosis: Blood tests are used to detect HCV antibodies or viral RNA. Additional tests like liver biopsies or imaging may assess liver damage.
- Treatment: Antiviral medications can cure most cases of chronic Hepatitis C.
- Prevention: There is no vaccine for Hepatitis C, but preventive measures include avoiding shared needles, ensuring safe medical practices, and practicing safe sex.
