Hepatitis C Symptoms

Symptoms

Just like hepatitis B, the infection with hepatitis C virus doesn't usually cause specific symptoms. Very few patients present flu-like symptoms, along with weight loss, fatigue, muscle or joint pain, irritability, nausea, malaise, anorexia and jaundice in the active period of the disease (that occurs between 2 and 26 week from the infection).

Fatigue is the most common symptom met in chronic infection with hepatitis C virus. Once the liver disease advances, symptoms like depression, nausea, abdominal discomfort, anorexia and difficulty with concentration may occur.
