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
Non-Viral Hepatitis Differential Diagnosis
- Autoimmune hepatitis
- Alcoholic liver disease
- Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
- Drug-induced liver injury (DILI)
- Liver abscess
- Hepatocellular carcinoma
- Cholelithiasis
- Cholecystitis
- Cholangitis
- Chronic biliary disease
- Trauma
- Abdominal aneurysm
- Gastritis
- Gastroenteritis
- Peptic ulcer disease
- Bowel obstruction
- Pancreatitis
- Pancreatic cancer
- Malignant lymphoma
- Hereditary metabolic disorders (Wilson disease, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency)
Differential diagnosis of jaundice as one pf symptoms of hepatitic C are: [2][3][4][5][6]

Differential diagnosis of cirrhosis based on altered hepatic function:
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]

Constrictive pericarditis |
|
|
Budd-Chiari Syndrome |
|
|
Splenic vein thrombosis | Signs and symptoms of:
|
|
Portal vein thrombosis |
|
|
Schistosomiasis |
|
|
Sarcoidosis |
|
|
Inferior vena cava obstruction |
|
