Definition of hepatitis c in English Turkish dictionary
(Tıp, İlaç) Hepatit C: Sarılık (hepatit), kandaki bilirubin düzeyinin artması sonucu deri, göz ve mukozaların sarı renk alması durumudur. Bir belirti (semptom) olup çeşitli nedenlerden kaynaklanabilir; tek bir hastalığa işaret etmez. Hepatit bir anlamda karaciğerin iltihabıdır. Hepatitlerin çoğu virüslere bağlı olmakla beraber ilaçlar, toksik maddeler, radyasyon, bağışıklık sistemindeki bozukluklar gibi farklı nedenlere de bağlı olabilir. Halk arasında, viral hepatitle, sarılık karıştırılır ve her sarılık "viral hepatit" zannedilir. Halbuki sarılık bir hastalık değil belirtidir. Birçok hastalık, sarılık belirtilerine neden olabilir. Örneğin, ana safra kanallarında taş olması sarılığa neden olabilir. Ancak viral hepatitle hiçbir ilgisi yoktur ve bulaşmaz. Yeni doğanlarda rastlanan sarılığın da "viral hepatit"le bir ilgisi yoktur ve bulaşmaz

Definition of hepatitis c in English English dictionary
(Tıp, İlaç) A form of viral hepatitis transmitted in infected blood, causing chronic liver disease
{i} hepatitis caused by a RNA virus, transmitted mainly by blood (hemodialysis, blood transfusions or intravenous drug use)
An infection of the liver that is caused by an RNA virus, is transmitted primarily by blood and blood products, as in blood transfusions or intravenous drug use, and sometimes through sexual contact. Most cases of non-A, non-B hepatitis are of this type
Definition: A virus that causes liver disease HCV is spread by contact with the blood of an infected person HCV is the United States' most common blood-borne disease, infecting at least 2 out of every 100 people
Formerly known as ãnon-A, non-B hepatitisä, it is caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV) Approximately 85% of infected adults will develop chronic hepatitis C infections It is spread through infected blood, primarily in those who use illicit street drugs and those who received blood transfusions prior to1992 (the first year that a blood test for HCV became available for screening the blood supply)
a viral hepatitis clinically indistinguishable from hepatitis B but caused by a single-stranded RNA virus; usually transmitted by parenteral means (as injection of an illicit drug or blood transfusion or exposure to blood or blood products)
HCV - the virus identified as the leading cause of Non-A, Non-B Hepatitis The Hepatitis C Antibody (or Anti-HCV) test detects antibodies to the Hepatitis C virus The Anti-HCV test was implemented in May 1990 to further reduce the incidence of post-transfusion hepatitis The blood from donors who test positive for HCV antibodies is discarded
A liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus The virus is transmitted through contaminated blood from other people who have the disease The infection can be characterized by a prolonged symptom-free period of chronic infection Progresses to chronic hepatitis in the majority of infections, and may ultimately lead to cirrhosis, liver failure and liver cancer In technical terms, the virus is a positive stranded RNA virus of the Flavivirdae family More directly, a microscopic infectious particle consisting of RNA carries the instructions for making more viruses and several proteins, some of which cover the viral RNA molecule like an envelope conceals a letter
