Hepatitis C is a disease of the heart.

Hepatitis C usually refers to viral hepatitis C. Viral hepatitis C usually requires fasting examinations.

Viral hepatitis C examination items include liver function, abdominal CT, etc., which all need to be performed on an empty stomach. If you eat before the examination, the liver will be put into a working state, which will easily lead to abnormal test results and the specific function of the liver cannot be clarified. Secondly, if an abdominal CT examination is performed after eating, the liver tissue cannot be clearly observed due to the presence of food in the gastrointestinal tract, so it is not conducive to the diagnosis of the disease.

Before performing a viral hepatitis C examination, you usually need to fast for 6-8 hours and abstain from drinking for 4-6 hours.
