To investigate the characteristics of clinical and epidemiological of patients with hepatitis C in the Third People’s Hospital of Jincheng.

The clinical data of 85 patients with hepatitis C treated in our hospital from March 2010 to March 2014 were analyzed, retrospectively and the questionnaire from the aspects of communication, laboratory examination, clinical manifestation were administered.

Among the 85 patients, there were 57 cases (67.1%) with the history of blood transfusion and blood products in the transmission way. For the laboratory examination, a total of 57 cases (67.1%) with HCV RNA load as 10⁴-10⁷ copies/ml. The nonparametric test showed that the factors were not related to gender (P all > 0.05), except for the levels of ALT (χ²= 5.259, P = 0.022).

The course of the hepatitis C was long and the condition was relatively hidden, most of the clinical symptoms and signs of the patients were not sinificant. In order to reduce the incidence of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, the actively antiviral treatment should be taken as early as possible.
