Many people who are infected with the hepatitis C do not have symptoms.

If the infection has been present for many years, the liver may be permanently scarred, a condition called cirrhosis. In many cases, there may be no symptoms of the disease until cirrhosis has developed.

The following symptoms could occur with hepatitis C infection:

* Abdominal pain (right upper abdomen)

* Bleeding varices (dilated veins in the esophagus)
* Dark urine
* Fatigue
* Generalized itching
* Jaundice
* Loss of appetite
