Tell me abt Hepatesis C?

Answer 1

Hepatitis C is a liver disease that is caused by infection with the hepatitis C virus. The virus lives in the liver cells and causes the liver to become inflamed. In time, hepatitis C can lead to permanent liver damage as well as cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure.

Many people do not know that they have hepatitis C until they already have some liver damage, which can take many years. Immediately after a person is infected with hepatitis C, he or she enters an early, short-term (acute) stage of the disease. Some people with acute hepatitis C fight off the virus permanently and never have liver problems. However, up to 85% of people who are infected with the virus go on to develop long-term, or chronic, hepatitis C. Although hepatitis C can be a very serious disease, many people lead active, full lives by managing the disease and taking good care of themselves.
