Overview
Hepatitis C must be differentiated from other diseases that cause hepatic injury and abnormal liver function tests such as other viral hepatitides (Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis E) and non-viral etiologies such as alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, drug-induced liver injury, autoimmune hepatitis, hepatocellular carcinoma, liver abscess, pancreatitis, and bowel obstruction.
Differential Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis of hepatitis C includes other etiologies of viral hepatitis and non-viral etiologies:[1]
Viral Hepatitis Differential Diagnosis
