What is hepatitis C? Hepatitis C is a liver disease. Hepatitis makes your liver swell and stops it from working right. You need a healthy liver. The liver fights infections and stops bleeding. It removes drugs and other poisons from your blood. The liver also stores energy for when you need it.
What causes hepatitis C? Hepatitis C is caused by a virus. The virus that causes hepatitis C is called the hepatitis C virus.
How can I get hepatitis C? Hepatitis C is spread by contact with an infected person's blood. You could get hepatitis C by sharing drug needles; getting pricked with a needle that has infected blood on it (hospital workers can get hepatitis C this way); having sex with an infected person, especially if you or your partner has other sexually transmitted diseases; or by being born to a mother with hepatitis C.
Can I get hepatitis C from a blood transfusion? If you had a blood transfusion or organ transplant before 1992, you might have hepatitis C. Before 1992, doctors could not check blood for hepatitis C, and some people received infected blood. If you had a blood transfusion or organ transplant before 1992, ask a doctor to test you for hepatitis C.
What are the symptoms of hepatitis C? Many people with hepatitis C don't have symptoms. However, some people with hepatitis C feel like they have the flu. So, you might feel tired; sick to your stomach; have a fever; not want to eat; have stomach pain; or have diarrhea. Some people have dark yellow urine, light colored stools, or yellowish eyes and skin. If you have symptoms or think you might have hepatitis C, go to a doctor.
How is hepatitis C treated? Hepatitis C is treated with a drug called peginterferon, usually in combination with the drug ribavirin. You may need surgery if you have hepatitis C for many years. Over time, hepatitis C can cause your liver to stop working. If that happens, you will need a liver transplant.
Protection? You can protect yourself and others from hepatitis C: don't share drug needles with anyone; wear gloves if you have to touch anyone's blood; if you have several sex partners, use a condom during sex; don't use an infected person's toothbrush, razor, or anything else that could have blood on it; if you get a tattoo or body piercing, make sure it is done with clean tools; and if you have hepatitis C, don't give your blood or plasma. The person who receives it could become infected with the virus.
