Our annual statutory infectious disease reports show that the number of hepatitis C cases is on the rise year by year. Like hepatitis B, hepatitis C is an important cause of liver cirrhosis, liver cancer and liver failure. Approximately 50% to 85% of people infected with hepatitis C virus will progress to chronic hepatitis C, and 10% to 15% of these patients may develop cirrhosis 10 to 20 years after infection. Once cirrhosis develops, 1 to 7 percent of patients will develop fatal liver cancer each year. Because people know very little about the transmission route and preventive measures of hepatitis C, the current consultation rate of hepatitis C in China is only about 10%. In fact, the following groups of people at high risk for hepatitis C should be tested regularly for hepatitis C antibodies: 1. Those who share razors, toothbrushes and other close contacts with hepatitis C infected persons; 8, those who have sexual intercourse or unclean sex with hepatitis C infected persons; 9, those who have performed interventional treatment (endoscopy, dental instruments); 10, those who have had tattoos, eyebrows, ear piercing, etc. Does hepatitis C infection mean that there is no end to treatment? No. Hepatitis C can be cured if detected in time and treated regularly.
