summary

I found out last year that there was hepatitis C. The effect of drug treatment was not very good. People are getting thinner and thinner day by day. Let's discuss the causes of hepatitis C.

Causes of hepatitis C

First: hepatitis C virus infection is the root cause of disease, under the influence of external factors, such as drinking, fatigue, long-term use of hepatotoxic drugs, can promote the development of the disease. In general, the route of transmission of hepatitis C: kissing, hugging, sneezing, coughing, food, drinking water, sharing tableware and water cup, no skin damage and other contact without blood exposure, generally do not transmit hepatitis C.

Second: blood transfusion and blood products are easy to cause hepatitis C. Because in blood donors, HCV negative patients can not be ruled out, patients who need blood transfusion, if the blood containing HCV is imported, there is still the possibility of infection.

Third: hepatitis C is mainly caused by infection with hepatitis B virus, which is not easy to detect. Hepatitis C is a hidden disease. If patients are not treated in time, it will lead to liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, which seriously threaten the health of patients.
