In the early stage, the symptoms of hepatitis C were generally mild, and the enlargement of liver and spleen, tenderness and abdominal distension were obvious. Gastrointestinal symptoms and jaundice can also be seen in severe patients. When liver fibrosis and cirrhosis were obvious, there were bleeding in nose and teeth, telangiectasia in face, neck and chest, liver palmar and spider disease.

Symptoms of chronic hepatitis C

In severe cases, ascites, pleural effusion, esophageal varices or gastric varices rupture and hemorrhage may occur. Acute fulminant hepatitis sometimes occurs fulminant liver failure, prothrombin activity decreased to less than 40%, and hepatic coma.

The clinical manifestations of most patients with chronic hepatitis C are not obvious, and the symptoms are generally non-specific, mild and intermittent. Common fatigue, but also from time to time anorexia, nausea, right upper abdominal pain and dark urine color. Chronic hepatitis C (CHC) infection is a kind of potential slow progressive liver disease, which usually appears after decades of obvious clinical manifestations. It is found that it has developed into cirrhosis during examination.

The incubation period of hepatitis C was 2-26 weeks (mean 7.4 weeks). The incubation period of sporadic hepatitis C is undetermined. General clinical course is light, subclinical type is more common, severe hepatitis is less. Compared with hepatitis B, the average value of ALT and bilirubin is lower, the duration of jaundice is shorter, the condition is lighter and fever is rare.
