Viral causes of Hepatitis
病毒性肝炎的病因
The word hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. The liver is the largest organ in your body. Its job is to remove waste products from the blood, convert food into nutrients, and store vitamins, minerals, and sugars for later use.
单词【hepatitis】意为肝炎。肝脏是身体内最大的器官。它的功能是清除血液中的废物，将食物转化为营养物质，并储存维生素、矿物质和糖，以备日后使用。
Hepatitis C is a type of liver disease that is spread by blood-to-blood contact where blood from an infected person enters your own bloodstream.
丙肝是一种肝脏疾病，通过血液接触传播，即感染者的血液进入被感染者的血流。
The most common way to get Hepatitis C is through injecting drugs.
丙肝最常见的感染方式是注射药物。
When you reuse or share needles or other drug equipment, the virus can travel from infected blood left on the drug-taking equipment into your body. Sharing razors or toothbrushes that have blood on them may also transmit the virus. It can even be passed from a mother to her unborn baby.
当重复使用或共用针头，或其他药物设备时，病毒从遗留在用药设备上的被感染血液传播到人体内。共用带有血迹的剃须刀或牙刷也可能传播病毒。病毒甚至可以从母体传播给未出生的胎儿。
Hepatitis C can also be spread through sexual intercourse.
丙肝也可以通过性交传播。
Once the virus is inside your blood, it goes to your liver where it starts to damage and destroy liver cells. Over time, more and more liver cells are destroyed and are replaced by scar tissue.
病毒进入血液后，它将进入肝脏，开始损害和破坏肝细胞。随着时间的推移，被破坏的肝细胞越来越多，被疤痕组织替代。
Hepatitis C is usually a long- lasting illness and often there are no symptoms in the early stages.
丙肝通常是一种长期的疾病，早期通常没有任何症状。
Some people get symptoms a few months after getting the infection, but most don't have any symptoms until many years after catching the virus.
有些人在感染病毒后几个月就会出现症状，但大多数人在感染多年后才出现症状。
You may feel very tired or ill, lose your appetite, and have pain in the tummy or back. You may also have trouble sleeping and feel sick after drinking alcohol or eating fatty foods. Some people also develop yellowing of the skin.
患者可能感到非常疲倦或不适、食欲不振，以及腹部或背部疼痛；也可能在饮酒或高脂肪饮食后出现睡眠困难和恶心感。有些患者也可能皮肤发黄。
The virus can cause more and more scar tissue to build up inside the liver, so that the liver becomes hardened. This is known as cirrhosis.
病毒会导致肝脏内堆积越来越多地疤痕组织，从而使肝脏硬化。这就是所谓的肝硬化。
If you think you could have been exposed to hepatitis C, contact your doctor or healthcare worker quickly. A blood test can tell if you have it.
如果认为自己曾接触丙肝病毒，请迅速联系医生或医护人员！血液检测可以判断是否患有丙肝。
Usually hepatitis C does not get better by itself, but there are drugs that can help to clear the virus from your body and prevent further liver damage. It is also important to find out how you can stop the spread of infection to other people.
丙肝通常不会自行好转，但有些药物有助于清除体内的病毒，防止肝脏进一步损伤。了解如何防止将感染传播给他人也非常重要！
