Hepatitis C is an infectious disease that is characterized by inflammation of the liver. The condition can be acute or chronic; most people infected by the hepatitis C virus have the chronic illness (in which the body is unable to get rid of the virus completely), and they end up having long-term liver infection. Transmission occurs most frequently when a person comes in contact with infected blood. If treatment for hepatitis C is recommended, it usually involves medications.
