Learn About Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C is a contagious disease that impairs the liver’s ability to remove toxins from the body. More recently, HCV has been spread by sharing needles, being tattooed by unsterilized tools, or rarely, by unprotected sex with an infected person. Treatments include medicines that help the immune system clear the virus and keep it from multiplying.
- Symptoms include fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, clay-colored bowel movements, joint pain and jaundice.
- Liver damage is caused by HCV regardless of the presence of the above symptoms.
- Symptoms of liver damage might include right quadrant pain and tenderness, bleeding, bruising, itching, problems with mental function, insulin resistance or Type 2 Diabetes.
Hepatitis C Treatment
Hepatitis C treatment currently includes new combinations of medicines that work by helping the immune system clear the virus and keep it from multiplying. There are currently a vast number of studies looking at new potential therapies for the treatment of hepatitis C that will shorten treatment, lower side effects, and improve cure rates.
