GlossaryHepatitis C

viral infection primarily affecting liver, often transmitted through blood

Hepatitis C, often abbreviated as HCV, is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver, leading to inflammation and potentially severe liver damage over time. It is commonly transmitted through blood-to-blood contact, such as through sharing needles or receiving contaminated blood transfusions. Chronic Hepatitis C can result in long-term health issues like cirrhosis or liver cancer if left untreated.
