Hepatitis C is a common blood-borne infection. A virus, HCV, is the main cause for this infectious
disease. You can contract the disease through contact with the blood of an infected person.
Hepatitis C mainly affects the liver, which is a vital body organ. More than four million people across the
world suffer from Hepatitis C.
Hepatitis literally means “inflammation of the liver”. The liver is the second largest organ in the human
body. The most important function of the liver is to remove harmful and unwanted substances from your
blood. It helps in conversion of food substances that help your body grow and survive.
However, all is not lost if you develop Hepatitis C. In many detected cases, it is possible to achieve
appreciable improvement with regular treatment.
Diagnosis of Hepatitis C often does not occur until after the acute period, as you do not experience
serious symptoms during the early stage and, therefore, do not seek any medical treatment.
The chronic stage of Hepatitis C involves serious symptoms with extensive liver damage. Normally, this
stage starts more than six months after infection. Untreated cases could develop into liver cirrhosis after
two or three decades.
A major cause for Hepatitis C infection is from contact with the blood of infected person.
Infections may be linked to:
• Extensive intravenous or inhaled drug usage
• Unsafe sex causing exposure to infected blood
• Tattoos and other piercings
• Transfusion of unscreened blood or blood products
• Use of unsterilized injection equipment
• Sharing of personal care items like cuticle scissors, razors, and toothbrushes.
However, it is certain that HCV does not spread through a Simple hug, kiss or the sharing of food and
cooking utensils.
Children born to HCV infected mothers need not necessarily contract the infection unless of course the
mother is HIV positive with HCV.
Hepatitis C does not affect everybody in exactly the same way or always with the same intensity.
Although it mainly affects the liver, the degree of infection varies and the actual progress of the disease in
each individual depends on many associated factors.
However, regular and professional treatment with extra care of your health can help you to reduce the
effects of the disease. You can live to enjoy a long and happy life.
Doctors adopt Simple diagnostic tests, including liver function tests, to determine the presence of HCV
and the degree of infection.
Chronic cases could require a liver biopsy to understand the extent of damage. Treatment options differ
according to the intensity of the infection and the major cause of infection.
Treatment could be traumatic if you have a history of alcohol or drug abuse. There could be many side
effects with serious psychological stress.
Alcoholic beverages and smoking may increase the progress of the disease and restrict beneficial effects
of some treatments for Hepatitis C.
Breast-feeding by an infected mother may not cause any problems unless the mother’s nipples develop
cracks or bleed.
Presently, there is no vaccination available to protect against Hepatitis C.
There are six major genotypes of Hepatitis C.
If the progress of the disease goes unnoticed until it is into the severe stage, the patient’s liver may be
close to malfunctioning and therefore, a liver transplant might be the only currently available treatment
option.
In some cases, infection goes unnoticed until serious symptoms are felt.
Some people opt to use Chinese medicine and alternative therapies to try to restore normalcy in liver
functioning and reduce further progress of disease. These treatment options are sometimes tried by
patients that are unable to bear the physical effects of regular treatments.
Detection of Hepatitis C
Detection of Hepatitis C disease started around 1975. It was found that most post-transfusion
hepatitis cases were not due to hepatitis A or B viruses.
In the mid nineteen-seventies, scientists and doctors could detect the presence of the Hepatitis C virus.
It is possible to medically detect the presence of this virus in the blood within two weeks after infection.
Detection of antibodies is possible within three months of infection.
Early detection followed by proper treatment may normalize liver functions.
The major hindrance to receiving effective and early treatment is diagnosis of the disease. As the
symptoms are common to other diseases as Well, it is not always diagnosed, therefore treatment is often
delayed.
