Hepatitis C is one of the most common
causes of chronic liver disease in the US today. At least 80% of
patients with acute hepatitis C ultimately develop chronic liver
infection, and 20% to 30% develop cirrhosis. Between 1% and 5% of
patients may develop liver cancer. Hepatitis C is now the number 1
cause for liver transplantation in the US. |
