What way is hepatitis C transmitted

summary

My aunt has been suffering from hepatitis C for several years, which has brought a great impact on her life and work. Patients with hepatitis C should receive treatment as soon as possible. Now I will tell you about the transmission of hepatitis C through what channels.

What way is hepatitis C transmitted

Route of transmission 1: viral hepatitis is an infectious disease, and hepatitis C is one of them, so hepatitis C is infectious. The transmission routes of hepatitis C include: blood transmission, mother to child transmission and sexual contact transmission.

The second route of transmission: close contact in daily life (sharing comb, nail clipper, razor and toothbrush). The main route of transmission of hepatitis C is blood transmission, so the main way of prevention is not to contact the blood of patients with hepatitis C.

The third route of transmission: hepatitis C virus mainly replicates in hepatocytes, damages hepatocytes and causes inflammation, degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes. After hepatocyte necrosis, liver tissue is constantly repaired, and the process of repair is the process of liver fibrosis.

matters needing attention

We should actively prevent the occurrence of hepatitis C. the harm caused by hepatitis C is more serious. Like chronic hepatitis B, chronic hepatitis C is difficult to cure. The best result is to control the virus to undetectable, normal liver function. Hepatitis C is an abnormal liver function caused by the destruction of hepatocytes by hepatitis C RNA.
