The severity and activity of liver disease in chronic hepatitis C infection

Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the cause of 90% of cases of non -A, non -B hepatitis. Chronic HCV hepatitis is at least initially an asymptomatic illness, but a proportion of patients will develop symptomatic, complicated disease. The most common complications are hepatic cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); presently it is unclear whether all infected patients will develop these complications.
