ICD-10 code: B19. 9 Unspecified viral hepatitis without hepatic coma.
After six months 70% to 85% of those infected will have failed to clear the virus spontaneously. After this period the hepatitis C virus enters what is known as the 'chronic phase'. This is when hepatitis C becomes a chronic or long-term infection.
ICD-10-CM K74. 69 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 432 Cirrhosis and alcoholic hepatitis with mcc. 433 Cirrhosis and alcoholic hepatitis with cc.

How is it spread? Hepatitis A is spread when a person ingests fecal matter—even in microscopic amounts—from contact with objects, food, or drinks contaminated by feces or stool from an infected person.
There are at least six different types of hepatitis (A-G), with the three most common types being hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Hepatitis A is an acute infection and people usually improve without treatment.

Hepatitis can be an acute (short-term) infection or a chronic (long-term) infection. Some types of hepatitis cause only acute infections. Other types can cause both acute and chronic infections.
If you have the hepatitis C virus in your blood for anywhere from a few weeks to a few months, you have “acute” hep C. After 6 months, it's called “chronic.” Without diagnosis and treatment, chronic hep C can remain for many years and lead to serious symptoms like liver damage.
Chronic hepatitis is inflammation of the liver that lasts at least 6 months. Common causes include hepatitis B and C viruses and certain drugs. Most people have no symptoms, but some have vague symptoms, such as a general feeling of illness, poor appetite, and fatigue.
If the period of inflammation or hepatocellular injury lasts for less than six months, characterized by normalization of the liver function tests, it is called acute hepatitis. In contrast, if the inflammation or hepatocellular injury persists beyond six months, it is termed chronic hepatitis.
Definition. Chronic active hepatitis is a general term embracing any active, progressive liver disease characterized by a marked inflammatory response with concurrent evidence of longstanding disease (ie, fibrosis).
