What is Hepatitis C?

Hepatitis C is a liver infection caused by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). It can lead to both acute and chronic diseases, with chronic cases potentially causing liver scarring (cirrhosis) and liver failure. Many people with Hepatitis C remain asymptomatic for years, making early detection critical. The virus spreads through infected blood, commonly through unsafe injection practices, transfusions, and unsterilized medical equipment. Effective antiviral treatments are available, offering a high cure rate. With timely medical intervention and lifestyle adjustments, Hepatitis C patients can manage the disease and prevent severe liver complications.

Causes of Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C spreads primarily through blood-to-blood contact. The most common transmission routes include sharing needles, receiving unscreened blood transfusions, and using non-sterile medical or tattoo equipment. Healthcare workers are also at risk due to accidental needle sticks. In rare cases, it can be passed from an infected mother to her baby during childbirth. Unlike Hepatitis A and B, Hepatitis C is not commonly spread through casual contact, food, or water. Understanding these causes helps prevent infection and allows individuals to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and others.

Diagnosis of Hepatitis C

Diagnosing Hepatitis C involves blood tests that detect the presence of the virus and assess liver damage. The HCV antibody test is the first step in identifying exposure. If positive, an HCV RNA test confirms an active infection. Additional tests, such as liver function tests and imaging scans, evaluate the extent of liver damage. In severe cases, a liver biopsy may be needed. Early detection through routine screening is crucial, especially for high-risk individuals. Proper diagnosis ensures timely treatment, preventing complications like cirrhosis and liver failure.

Symptoms of Hepatitis C

Many people with Hepatitis C do not experience symptoms until liver damage has progressed. When symptoms appear, they may include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), dark urine, abdominal pain, loss of appetite, and nausea. In chronic cases, patients may develop complications such as liver cirrhosis and swelling in the abdomen. Since symptoms are often subtle or delayed, regular screening is vital for those at risk. Identifying the infection early allows for prompt treatment, reducing the risk of severe liver damage and improving long-term health outcomes.

Treatment for Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C treatment has advanced significantly, with antiviral medications now offering high cure rates. Direct-acting antiviral (DAA) medications, such as sofosbuvir and ledipasvir, effectively eliminate the virus in most cases within 8 to 12 weeks. Unlike older treatments, DAAs have fewer side effects and higher success rates. Regular liver monitoring and lifestyle changes, such as avoiding alcohol and maintaining a healthy diet, help improve treatment outcomes. Early intervention is crucial to prevent complications like cirrhosis and liver failure. Seeking medical advice ensures the best approach for managing and curing Hepatitis C.
