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

Differential diagnosis of cirrhosis if happened in hepatitis C based on altered hepatic function are:

Condition Differentiating signs and symptoms Differentiating Tests
Cirrhosis

Ultrasound findings in cirrhosis are as follows:[7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]

Abdominal MRI may also be helpful in the diagnosis of portal hypertension. Findings on MRI suggestive of cirrhosis with portal hypertension include:[15][16][17][18]

Transient elastography and the Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) technique are well-established methods for the staging of fibrosis in various liver diseases: [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] 

  • The FibroScan (transient elastography) uses elastic waves to determine liver stiffness which theoretically may be converted into a liver score.
  • The FibroScan produces an ultrasound image of the liver (from 20-80mm) along with a pressure reading (in kPa).
  • Transient elastography is much faster than a biopsy (usually lasts 2.5-5 minutes) and is completely painless.
  • Findings on transient elastography may show reasonable correlation with the severity of cirrhosis:[30][31]
Constrictive pericarditis
Budd-Chiari Syndrome
  • Abdominal pain
  • Diarrhea
  • Ascites
Splenic vein thrombosis Signs and symptoms of:
Portal vein thrombosis
Schistosomiasis
Sarcoidosis
Inferior vena cava obstruction
Nodular regenerative hyperplasia None
Idiopathic portal hypertension (hepatoportal sclerosis) None
Vitamin A intoxication, arsenic, and vinyl chloride toxicity None
  • History generally reveals exposure
