Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C

The hepatitis C virus causes this liver illness.

Signs and symptoms

• Fatigue
• Fever
• Jaundice

Diagnosis

Only 20% of people who are infected with HCV will be able to remove the virus on their own. The remainder will be contaminated for the rest of their lives and may unwittingly infect others.

A simple blood test termed an HCV antibody (or anti-HCV) screen can be used to check for HCV.

An FDA-approved fast test with findings in 20 minutes is available. Otherwise, blood is obtained by venipuncture and processed in a laboratory. A negative test results in no hepatitis exposure or infection. A positive test indicates exposure but not HCV infection.
