What is the difference between chronic and acute Hepatitis C?
With acute Hepatitis C your body fights the virus and if it succeeds in getting rid of the virus from your body, most of the injured part of your liver returns to normal. Generally this takes less than 6 months. With chronic Hepatitis C however, your body doesn’t get rid of the virus within the 6 month period. The virus stays in your system and continues to damage your liver.
