What Is Hepatitis C?
Hepatitis C is an infectious disease that causes inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis C is caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Chronic hepatitis C can lead to irreversible scarring of the liver (cirrhosis), liver damage, and liver cancer.
Hepatitis C is transmitted through direct contact with infected blood. This can happen through the sharing of infected drug needles or accidental needle sticking in a healthcare setting. It can also be transmitted by an infected mother to her newborn. morehere
