A member asked:
What percentage of people who contract hep c need a liver transplant?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
The percentage is getting smaller and smaller because now 95% of people with hepatitis C can be treated effectively with medication. As soon as someone knows they are hepatitis C positive they should be treated with medication for a cure to their hepatitis.

About 20% of the people with it will go on to cirrhosis over20-30yrs time and most will require a transplant. Exact figures vary
