Abstract

Background: Chronic hepatitis C virus is a global health problem. Surveying the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of chronic hepatitis C virus is extremely important and can help us diagnose early and prevent disease. Timely treatment, preventing complications and reducing unnecessary death rates caused by hepatitis C virus disease. Objectives: Determine the rate of chronic hepatitis C virus, describe the clinical and paraclinical characteristics of chronic hepatitis C virus at Bac Lieu General Hospital in 2023-2024. Subjects and methods: Research use a descriptive cross-sectional design on 58 chronic viral hepatitis cases at Bac Lieu General Hospital in 2023-2024. Results: The rate of chronic hepatitis C virus in the study was 18,6%. Fatigue is the most common symptom, affecting nearly three-quarters 88,2% of chronic hepatitis C patients. Other symptoms such as loss of appetite and bloating were also reported in more than half of the patients. Paraclinical characteristics: Average values of AFP (13,44 ng/mL±19,6), ALT (83 U/L±74,3) and AST (61,6 U/L±54,4) is higher than the average person's value. And more than half (52.9%) of the patients had a high viral load. Conclusions: The prevalence of chronic hepatitis C is 18,6%. Notably, the findings show a high prevalence of fatigue-related symptoms and musculoskeletal pain, along with variability in hematological and biochemical test results, demonstrating the importance of long-term health monitoring to these patients.
