| ===General===
| | {{Main|Hepatitis C}} |
| *Leads to hepatocellular carcinoma in the setting of cirrhosis.
| |
| *Tends to be chronic; the "C" in "hepatitis C" stands for ''chronic''.
| |
| *Diagnosis is by serology.
| |
| | |
| Associated pathology:
| |
| *[[Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis]].
| |
| *[[Membranous nephropathy]].
| |
| *[[Cryoglobulinemia]].
| |
| | |
| ===Microscopic===
| |
| Features:
| |
| *Lobular inflammation - this is non-specific finding.
| |
| **Usually Grade 1, rarely Grade 2 and almost never Grade 3 or Grade 4.<ref>STC. 6 December 2010.</ref>
| |
| *Periportal steatosis in genotype 3.<ref name=pmid16614743>Yoon EJ, Hu KQ. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and hepatic steatosis. Int J Med Sci. 2006;3(2):53-6. Epub 2006 Apr 1. PMID 16614743.

| Preserved architecture shows small, inflamed triads [red arrows] and foci of spotty necrosis [blue arrows] (Row 1 Left 40X). Trichrome shows periportal fibrosis [blue arrow] and central venous sclerosis [green arrow] (Row 1 Right 100X). A higher power view of an inflamed triad with interface hepatitis, but a smooth outline, suggesting no piecemeal necrosis (Row 2 Left 200X). A focus of spotty necrosis near an unafflicted triad below it (Row 2 Right 200X). Reticulin shows collapse [arrows] extending from/near portal triad without piecemeal necrosis (Row 3 Left 200X). Reticulin shows collapse [arrows] extending from/near central vein (Row 3 Right 200X).

| Expanded dark triads, indicating interface hepatitis [red arrows], foci of steatosis [green arros], potential bridge [blue arrow] (Row 1 Left 20X). Extending from triad are stretches of apparent necrosis [green arrows], inflammatory cells bound hepatocytes afflicted by piecemeal necrosis [yellow arrows], ballooning degeneration denoted by cytoplasmic tufts [blue arrows] (Row 1 Right 400X). Reticulin shows collapse (necrosis) with thick bands [red arrows], as well as rosettes [green arrows] indicating dilated cholangioles (Row 2 Left 200X). Reticulin here shows continuous piecemeal necrosis with black bounded hepatocyte islets [arrows] (Row 2 Right 200X). Reticulin here shows a bridge with regeneration, wherein two or more nuclei lie between reticulin lines [arrows] (Row 3 Left 200X). Trichrome demarcates one of the bridges (Row 3 Right 200X).
