A member asked:
Are there differences between hepatitis c and liver disease?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
HepC causes disease: There are many types of liver disease. Liver cancer is one. Hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) is another. Toxins, some drugs, a variety of diseases, alcohol abuse, and bacterial or viral infections can all cause hepatitis. Hepatitis a, b, c, d, and e viruses all cause infection and inflammation in the liver.

No: Hepatitis c is a type of liver disease. The virus infects the cells of the liver and damage results. Other things can cause liver disease as well including other viruses (hepatitis b, a), alcohol, fat, drugs/medication, etc.
