What is HCV?
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is now a main cause of hepatitis. The worldwide prevalence of HCV is 0.2 to 2 % on blood donors and up to 80% in intravenous drug users. Transmission of HCV is by transfusion and other parenteral means such as sharing of needles, occupational exposure to blood and haemodialysis.
Chronic infection can lead to cirrhoses and hepatocellular carcinoma. However, chronic infection is often asymptomatic even in the presence of liver damage discernible on biopsy.
