Being infected with Hepatitis C does not necessarily mean that you will be fine for the rest of your life. Chronic Hepatitis C may progress to cirrhosis of the liver or even liver cancer. These have an impact on quality of life and normal life expectancy. Hepatitis C, known as hepatitis C, is a viral hepatitis caused by infection with the hepatitis C virus. It can be transmitted through blood, sex, and mother-to-child, and can be categorized as acute or chronic based on the length of epidemiologic history. Acute hepatitis C can be clinically cured in most cases with active treatment, thus having little impact on normal life expectancy. Chronic hepatitis C can also be clinically cured with active treatment, thus having little impact on normal life expectancy. A small number of patients may develop cirrhosis and liver cancer, which will seriously affect the quality of life and life expectancy. If you are infected with hepatitis C virus, it is important to seek early diagnosis and systematic treatment to avoid delays.
