Hepatitis C often have minor symptoms when first infected; this is why some refer to the infection as "silent". About half of the people that half Hepatitis C do not know they have it because of the few symptoms. The first step of Hep C is called the acute phase. This phase has symptoms that appear one to three months after first being infected by the [[disease]]. Some of those symptoms include dark colored urine, felling tired, muscle and joint pain, nausea and many more. <ref name= clinic/> Some people infected by Hepatitis C have it cleared from their body after the acute phase People go through a process known as the spontaneous viral clearance. Studies have shown wide variety between people cleared and uncleared. Some statistics show around fourteen to fifty percent of the infected have been cleared by spontaneous viral clearance. Having Long term Hepatitis C or better known as Chronic Hepatitis C is the result of people not know they are infected for many years. When the liver is damaged from years of the infection many symptoms starts showing up, which is why screening for Hepatitis C is very important. Some signs include bleeding easily, poor appetite, swelling of the leg, Jaundice and many more. [[Jaundice]] is arguably the most common symptom of Hepatitis C, because it occurs both in acute phase and chronic phase.
