Untreated hepatitis C is more likely to progress to cirrhosis and liver cancer compared to hepatitis B, thus affecting life expectancy, a process that takes about 20-30 years but may vary on an individual basis. If the virus is actively replicating, cirrhosis occurs and there are symptoms such as ascites, vomiting blood and black stools, the prognosis is usually poor and the 5-year survival period may be less than 50%. Hepatitis C, or hepatitis C, is caused by infection with the hepatitis C virus. Acute hepatitis C generally has a mild clinical presentation and is prone to become chronic with more insidious symptoms. Currently, hepatitis C is mostly curable and does not affect normal life expectancy through adequate rest, proper diet, appropriate medications, and Bi avoiding alcohol, overwork and liver damaging drugs. However, if left untreated, it is less likely to heal on its own, especially in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Basically, it will not heal on its own, and as the disease develops, it may eventually turn into liver cancer, affecting the quality of life and life expectancy of patients. Hepatitis C is transmitted mainly through blood, sex and mother-to-child transmission, and the population is generally susceptible. However, hepatitis C is now a curable disease, found to have viral replication, must actively antiviral, can greatly slow down or reverse the disease.
