Is hepatitis C contagious

First of all, there will be infection after suffering from hepatitis C, and the transmission rate of hepatitis C is relatively high. The route of transmission is similar to that of hepatitis B, but due to the low content of HCV in body fluid, RNA virus and low external resistance, its mode of transmission is more limited than that of hepatitis B, and its infectivity is weaker than that of hepatitis B virus. It is mainly transmitted through extraintestinal route.  

Secondly, the symptoms of acute hepatitis C are mild, most of the patients are asymptomatic, and the ALT level is increased repeatedly or continuously. The clinical manifestations of acute hepatitis C and hepatitis B have no significant difference, but the symptoms are mild, mainly mild fatigue, fatigue and loss of appetite. The clinical manifestations of some patients with acute hepatitis C include nausea, abdominal distension, liver pain and low fever.
