Hepatitis C
(NF022)Introduction
Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver most commonly caused by any of a group of viruses, but which may also be caused by toxic substances, such as drugs, chemicals, alcohol and environmental toxins.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) affects about 28,000 people every year and as many as 3.9 million Americans are chronic carriers of the virus. It is estimated that 20% or more of persons with chronic hepatitis C develop cirrhosis, a process that takes 10-20 years.
HCV has the unique ability to cause persistent infection and 70-80% of infected persons become chronic carriers, although most have relatively mild disease with slow progression. The long-term outcome varies significan'tly for persons with HCV and there is currently no way to determine who will recover or who will develop chronic disease.
Treatment Hepatitis C usually consists of medications, but liver transplant may be appropriate in some cases.
