What are the symptoms of hepatitis C?

summary

I was in poor health some time ago. When I went to the hospital for examination, I found hepatitis C. when I got sick, my symptoms were very obvious. After a period of treatment, it was much better. Let me introduce the symptoms of hepatitis C.

What are the symptoms of hepatitis C?

First of all, hepatitis C patients will be weak. In case of unexplained and continuous fatigue, nausea, dark complexion, decreased appetite, discomfort in right upper abdomen, abnormal transaminase, hepatosplenomegaly, leucopenia and thrombocytopenia, attention should be paid to hepatitis C. Although early hepatitis C often does not have typical symptoms, but some patients will appear often, especially when the disease is active. It is worth noting that because hepatitis B and alcoholic liver disease are quite common in China, once many people have symptoms or abnormal liver function, they first think that it is caused by hepatitis B or drinking, and ignore the factor of hepatitis C.

Secondly, patients with hepatitis C will have right upper abdominal discomfort. Discomfort in the right upper abdomen is more common below the right costal margin. Digestive system discomfort. In the early stage, patients with hepatitis C will have anorexia, anorexia, nausea, vomiting and greasiness, and after a long time, they will have weight loss, muscle and joint pain and other symptoms.

Finally, jaundice occurred in patients with hepatitis C. Like other liver diseases, hepatitis C can cause serious liver damage, resulting in abnormal metabolism of hepatocytes, the body's bilirubin can not be effectively metabolized, resulting in excessive bilirubin accumulation, the direct result is the emergence of skin yellowing, sclera yellowing and other jaundice phenomenon. In patients with hepatitis C, the inactivation function of liver is decreased due to liver damage. Sex hormones can not be excreted from the body through the liver, resulting in the expansion of estrogen filled capillaries, spider nevus and liver palms.

matters needing attention

Patients with hepatitis C should pay more attention to the treatment of hepatitis C while paying attention to diet therapy. Any diet therapy can not replace the medical treatment of hepatitis C. Liver disease experts say that although the number of patients with hepatitis C is not as large as that of patients with hepatitis B, the harm of hepatitis C can not be underestimated. A large number of studies have proved that hepatitis C is easier to be chronic than hepatitis B, and chronic hepatitis C is easier to develop into liver cirrhosis and liver cancer than chronic hepatitis B.
