Hepatitis C is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis C virus that can lead to serious liver damage. It spreads by coming in contact with infected blood. Getting a tattoo or a piercing with unclean equipment, sex involving blood, sharing injection drugs and needles, toothbrushes, razor blades or nail clippers are some of the other mechanisms of its dissemination. The symptoms of hepatitis C are clay-colored feces, dark urine, fever, jaundice, stomach pain and vomiting. It can be diagnosed through HCV RNA and liver function tests. If hepatitis C goes untreated, it can lead to liver cancer, liver failure or cirrhosis. This book elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments in relation to Hepatitis C. Different approaches, evaluations, methodologies, and advanced studies on this disease have been included in it. This book will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.
