Causes of hepatitis C

summary

My sister has been suffering from hepatitis C for half a year. She has visited several hospitals and taken a lot of medicine, but it has not been good. Let's take a look at 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, transfusion transmission: transfusion of HCV infected blood and blood products can cause the occurrence of hepatitis C after transfusion, which is the main route of transmission.

Third, iatrogenic transmission: in the process of examination and treatment in the hospital, infection is caused by the use of medical devices that are not strictly disinfected but repeatedly contaminated by HCV. This is called iatrogenic transmission, including surgery, dental instruments, blood sampling needles, acupuncture needles and endoscopy.
