What is Hepatitis C Virus?

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) can cause a serious and sometimes fatal infection of the liver. The virus is spread primarily when blood from an infected person enters the body of someone who is not infected. For some persons, HCV causes no symptoms or only a mild illness which resolves over a few weeks. For the majority of infected persons, however, untreated HCV causes a serious, chronic illness. 

Risk is heightened with recognized conditions or exposures:

  • People with selected medical conditions, including:
    • people who ever received maintenance hemodialysis
    • people with persistently abnormal ALT levels
  • Prior recipients of transfusions or organ transplants, including:
    • people who received clotting factor concentrates produced before 1987
    • people who received a transfusion of blood or blood components before July 1992
    • people who received an organ transplant before July 1992
    • people who were notified that they received blood from a donor who later tested positive for HCV infection
  • People with HIV
  • People who ever injected drugs and shared needles, syringes, or other drug preparation equipment, including those who injected once or a few times many years ago

There is a recommendation for routine periodic testing for people with ongoing risk factors, while risk factors persist:

  • People who currently inject drugs and share needles, syringes, or other drug preparation equipment
  • People with selected medical conditions, including:
    • people who ever received maintenance hemodialysis

A simple, easy test can be done to determine if you need treatment. To learn more:
