Hepatitis : The liver is the body's largest internal organ. It performs many important jobs, including changing food into energy and cleaning alcohol and poisons from the blood. Hepatitis swells the liver, stopping it from working well. It can lead to scarring (cirrhosis) or cancer.

The liver:

Makes bile, a yellowish-green liquid that helps with digestion

Produces proteins and blood-clotting factors that the body needs

Regulates glucose (sugar) in the blood and stores extra sugar

Works with the stomach and intestines to digest food

Stores vitamins and minerals

Removes toxic (poisonous) substances from the blood

Acute hepatitis is the initial infection, which may be mild or severe. If the infection lasts for six months or longer, the condition is called chronic hepatitis. Hepatitis A and E do not cause chronic hepatitis. Hepatitis viruses B, C, and D can produce both acute and chronic episodes of the illness. Chronic hepatitis B and C are especially serious.
Types of Hepatitis:
Currently, five different viruses are known to cause viral hepatitis:

Hepatitis A: Sometimes called "infectious hepatitis," hepatitis A is spread by eating food or drinking water contaminated with human waste. Hepatitis A is rarely life-threatening.

Hepatitis B: Also called "serum hepatitis," hepatitis B spreads from mother to child at birth or soon after, and also through sexual contact, contaminated blood transfusions and needles. Hepatitis B may scar the liver (cirrhosis) and lead to liver cancer.

Hepatitis C: Formerly known as "non-A, non-B hepatitis," hepatitis C is the most common form of viral hepatitis. While it can be transmitted through contaminated blood transfusions and/or needles, for a substantial number of patients, the cause is unknown. It may scar the liver. Hepatitis C infection is common in about 25 percent of people who are HIV-positive. Hepatitis C also infects up to 90 percent of HIV-infected injection drug users. And it is more severe in patients with HIV.

Hepatitis D: This form most often infects intravenous (IV) drug users who are also carriers of the hepatitis B virus. It is spread only in the presence of the hepatitis B virus and is transmitted in the same ways. Hepatitis D is a serious health problem because it occurs in those with hepatitis B, increasing the severity of symptoms associated with hepatitis B.

Hepatitis E: Similar to hepatitis A, hepatitis E is prevalent in countries with poor sanitation. It is rare in North America and rarely life threatening.

Hepatitis C is a potentially dangerous virus that affects your liver. You can be exposed to the hepatitis C virus and at risk for infection if you come into contact with the blood of someone who has the virus. You can protect yourself by knowing how hepatitis C is spread, and then by taking precautions to prevent infection.
1. Blood Testing Prevents Hepatitis C From Transfusions:

2. Screening Donors Prevents Hepatitis C From Transplants
