What is Chronic Hepatitis C?
Chronic Hepatitis C is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). It can lead to long-term liver damage, including fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. The virus is primarily transmitted through blood-to-blood contact. Symptoms may be absent or mild for years but can progress to fatigue, jaundice, and abdominal pain. An ICE card helps emergency medical staff understand your diagnosis and avoid treatments or medications that could worsen your liver function.
