Today, in this topic we will explain what is Hepatitis C and reason of getting Heapatitis C. Hepatitis C is an inflammation of the liver due to a viral infection. The virus that causes the infection is called hepatitis C virus (HCV). Most commonly hepatitis C is spread by sharing cotton, spoons, needles, water and other equipment. Also, you cannot get hepatitis C from casual contact such as hugging, kissing, sneezing, coughing, or sharing food or water with someone. You can get hepatitis C if you come into contact with the blood of someone who has hepatitis C.
Now we go on the side of diagnosing of Hepatitis C, this virus is diagnosed by an exposure history to someone who has or is suspected to have hepatitis C, plus having symptoms of hepatitis, abnormal findings upon examination, and positive blood tests for hepatitis C. If the virus does not clear within six months, the infection becomes chronic and only curable with medication. The Hepatitis C article will focus specifically on the symptoms, causes, and treatments of hepatitis C in chronic and acute forms.
