Hepatitis C is a viral infection causing liver disease. Over 3 million people in the US are infected with hepatitis C and over half remain undiagnosed. The vast majority of individuals living with hepatitis C do not have symptoms. Hepatitis C is transmitted through contact with infected blood and many are unaware of their infection. If left untreated, hepatitis C can damage the liver to the point of cirrhosis, liver cancer and liver failure. The good news is that there are short-duration treatments that can lead to cure. The Johns Hopkins Viral Hepatitis Center is here to help more people get tested, treated and cured of this life-threatening disease.

The leading cause of liver transplants in the United States is Hepatitis C. Anthony Michaels, MD, transplant hepatologist and medical director of liver transplantation at Ohio State explains diagnosis, treatment and cure. The virus is transmitted via blood contact, and risk factors include blood transfusion, intravenous drug use, tattoos, body piercing and sexual contact. Although many patients remain asymptomatic, routine blood tests may lead to a diagnosis. Dr. Michaels emphasizes the progress made with new well-tolerated medicines that can actually cure Hepatitis C.
