Symptoms of Hepatitis C

Hepatitis C is an infectious liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). It can range from a mild illness lasting a few weeks to a serious, lifelong illness. The most common symptoms of hepatitis C are fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, and yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice). In some cases, there may be no symptoms at all.

Fatigue
Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of hepatitis C. It can range from feeling tired and a lack of energy to feeling exhausted all the time.

Nausea
Nausea is another common symptom of hepatitis C. It can range from mild feelings of queasiness to persistent vomiting.

Loss of Appetite
Loss of appetite is a common symptom of hepatitis C. People may find that they don't have an appetite or that food doesn't taste as good as it once did.

Jaundice
Jaundice is a yellowing of the skin and eyes caused by a buildup of bilirubin in the bloodstream. It can be a symptom of hepatitis C, although it is not always present.
