Feeling constantly tired or drained? Hepatitis C often causes extreme fatigue, making everyday activities feel exhausting.

2. Jaundice (Yellowing of Skin & Eyes)

One of the most noticeable symptoms of liver disease is jaundice. When your liver struggles to process bilirubin, it leads to yellowish skin and eyes.

3. Dark Urine & Pale Stools

Liver dysfunction affects bile production, leading to dark-colored urine and unusually light-colored stools.

Many people with hepatitis C experience a sudden decrease in hunger, leading to unintentional weight loss.

6. Abdominal Pain & Swelling

Liver inflammation can cause discomfort in the upper right abdomen. Some people also develop ascites (fluid buildup in the abdomen).

7. Joint & Muscle Pain

Hepatitis C is not just a liver disease—it can also trigger immune system responses that lead to joint and muscle aches.

8. Brain Fog & Memory Issues

Cognitive difficulties, including trouble concentrating and forgetfulness, are common among those with chronic hepatitis C.
