Hepatitis-C is a viral infection that causes  inflammation of the liver. By causing inflammation of the liver it affects how well it functions. The purpose of the liver is to help detoxify the body of toxins such as alcohol or waste our body produces normally.

Hepatitis-C is spread via blood through various activities such as sharing of needles, needlestick injuries or by a mother passing it onto her child in her womb. It can also sometimes be spread through sharing of personal items such as razor blades, sexual intercourse or a patient may get it if they get a tattoo or a piercing with equipment that is not properly sterilized.
