Speech about hepatitis C, viral, asymptomatic occurrence, which is often detected only when hepatitis goes into liver cirrhosis.

Distinctive feature
The main feature of the hepatitis virus with – His genetic
variability, pronounced ability to mutate. To date
Specialists are known 6 main genotypes of hepatitis virus with. but
Due to the mutational activity of the virus in the human body can
There are about four dozen subspecies of hepatitis pathogen,
that determines the high frequency of the development of chronic hepatitis forms
WITH. The immune system with such variability does not cope: while in
The organism is produced by antibodies on some viruses, they are already formed

But the chance to pick up hepatitis C when conducting medical manipulations
(with injections, blood transfusions) is minimal – 4%, with the exception of those
Cases when the sanitary norms are grossly violated. Although install
The exact source of infection during hepatitis C is usually very difficult.
Basic symptoms
Acute hepatitis C is rarely detected and more often by chance when people
Exercise about other diseases. Hidden (incubatory)

Finding into the blood and staining mucous membranes and skin in yellow.
But most often hepatitis C flows asymptomatic. Person can already
Being bad tests, but at the same time no special complaints and signs
Disease is not visible.
Diagnostics
For complete diagnosis of hepatitis C, it is necessary to perform a series of blood tests, primarily biochemical analysis.
It also does not interfere with the ultrasound of the abdominal organs, the liver biopsy can be shown.
Having all the results, the doctor will be able to put a full diagnosis, determine
The level of development of the virus process in the body, assess the state
liver and degree of damage, pick up efficient and safe
treatment.
Treatment
The basis for the treatment of hepatitis C, which can last up to 12 months, –
Combined antiviral therapy. Doses of drugs and durability
treatment is selected by a doctor individually.
To antiviral therapy (to improve certain cell functions
Hepatoprotectors (Essential, Lipoic Acid are also added)
and T. NS.) and immunomodulators allowing the body more efficiently
Fight infection.
At the same time, the chances to cure hepatitis with more than when hepatitis. At
Rightly planned recovery therapy can be achieved in 50-80%
Cases. But to get into these percentages, efforts and a doctor are needed, and

Complications
Impaired hepatitis C represents a greater threat to health.
According to statistics, from every 100 people infected with the virus
