whats the diff. between hep.b and hep.c?

Question:

Answers:
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a small, enveloped, single-stranded, positive sense RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae.

The hepatitis B virus is a member of the Hepadnavirus family. It consists of a proteinaceous core particle containing the viral genome in the form of double stranded DNA with single-stranded regions and an outer lipid-based envelope with embedded proteins.

Transmission of the viruses and signs and symptoms of both are remarkably similar.

Other Answers:
Hep C can cause you to go into liver failure after you become infected with it. However, with proper treatment it can be avoided so you won't need the organ transplant.

Hep B is an infectious disease and can be very dangerous. However, I am not a doctor and I cannot remember exactly how you get it or if there is any medical treatment for it.

I wish you best of luck if you just discovered you tested positive for either of these diseases.

medical science is amazing, I should know since 17 yrs ago I underwent a successful kidney transplant.

take care my friend
