HCV symptoms
The complexity of the disease - that it is often asymptomatic. The hepatitis C (HCV) symptoms may be imperceptible and uncharacteristic, so, the disease is often discovered by chance during other diagnostic tests.
The incubation period of hepatitis lasts from 1 to 3 months. Even after the end of the virus incubation period, it may remain imperceptible, until liver damage will become too obvious.
Symptoms of hepatitis C in adults are usually characterized by the following phenomena:
- Weakness and fatigue
- Asthenia
- Poor working capacity
- Disorders of the digestive system
- Joint pain
- Lack of appetite
- Weak symptoms of intoxication
All these symptoms are not specific. They may be also found in many other diseases, this complicates the hepatitis C diagnosis.
The signs of hepatitis C
More clearly, the first signs of hepatitis C begin to appear only after the severe hepatic damage occurs, if the disease has not been detected at an early stage by analyzing. Clearly first signs are:
- Yellowing of the sclera, skin and mucous membranes due to the destruction of hepatocytes
- Ascites (an increase of the abdomen)
- Increased weakness and fatigue
- Appear the varicose veins on the abdomen
These symptoms are characteristic for the first stage of cirrhosis. In acute and sudden hepatitis C these symptoms are practically absent, as the absence of the jaundice. If a person is ill with acute hepatitis C asymptomatic, the disease often becomes chronic. The patient can also ignore the chronic course of hepatitis: liver damage occurs only after a few years. Prior, the liver with hepatitis C retains its function, the signs of hepatitis C in adults become manifested after a few years.
Hepatitis c diagnosis
Timely made tests - the only sure way to diagnose this practically asymptomatic disease on the early stages. If timely to recognize the symptoms of hepatitis C, a disease can be cured successfully with the help of modern medical therapy.
To diagnose the disease, the patient must be tested:
- Biochemical analysis of the blood
- A blood test for antibodies specific to the hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV)
- PCR for detection of viral RNA in the blood
- Total blood tests
Also is carried out the abdominal ultrasonography, as a result, the ultrasonography often reveals the degree of liver damage.
