The prognosis of hepatitis C should we?

Although hepatitis C clinical symptoms were relatively light, But easy transition to the chronic, often serum transaminase dips ups and downs of higher and sustained for six months (57 percent) than Hepatitis B (28%) more common. A long incubation period and light or without jaundice, easy development for the chronic; more women than men develop chronic; elderly and high-dose acute hepatitis C virus infection easily develop into chronic; percutaneous communicators, particularly hepatitis C after a blood transfusion non-intestinal, propagator for the development of more chronic. 10% -2 o% in cirrhosis, in some cases after acute onset within a few months to three years in asymptomatic cases, quietly evolved into cirrhosis, and a small number of patients with disease progression is rapid, poor prognosis.
