Acute infection can range in severity, from a very mild illness with few or no symptoms to a serious condition requiring hospitalisation. About 20% of people are able to get rid of the virus without treatment in the first 6 months. Unfortunately, most people who get infected develop a chronic or lifelong infection. Over time, chronic Hepatitis C can cause serious health problems including liver disease, liver failure and even liver
