According to a recent estimate by almost 90% of the total population of developed countries in the world suffer from hepatitis C is transmitted by different ways. However, the principal means by which this disease is found in developed countries, through the use of unsterilized needles and infected blood infusion, without prior thorough investigation.
A person may be with hepatitis C through various activities and practices which are famous for possible sources of the spread of the disease. They have to supervise themselves hepatitis C in the following cases:
- Do you use after the injection of drugs: people using injection drugs, or used in the past, a high risk of hepatitis C virus by sharing infected needles.
- nasal inhalation of drugs: Some researchers suggest that inhaling drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine crystal straws infected can lead to the transmission of hepatitis C virus.
- blood products: Blood transfusion of blood products and organ transplantation without prior thorough study of infection is also one of risk factors for the spread of hepatitis C. However, cases of disease spread by this method are decreasing.
- infected medical devices: Hepatitis C can vary from one person to another through the use of medical equipment such as needles, syringes, hemodialysis, appliances, instruments oral hygiene, jet-gun air, etc., which are contaminated by infected blood and are not properly and sufficiently sterilized. The use of latest techniques of sterilization and the use of appliances use unique risk factor that infection medical equipment to a large extent.
- A risk of accidental infection by blood: people in professions like the army, can be infected with HCV because of an accidental exposure to blood infected needles, open wounds, so precautions for the protection against accidental exposure may run the risk of infection.

In some studies, which were carried out, it was found that patients with hepatitis C have a reduced level of glutathione in his body. It was also found that levels of glutathione have been significantly weaker in his liver. Because of the low glutathione in the body, the patient's immune system and weaken so as to the further development of the disease.
On the basis of analyses, it was found that glutathione, an antioxidant the body of the captain, detoxifier and immuno-Booster, can help patients with hepatitis C, if a good level of glutathione in their bodies.
The studies also show that rising levels of glutathione help patients to achieve a much higher quality than as a whole.
