About Blood
The average adult has about five liters of blood inside of their body, coursing through their vessels, delivering essential elements, and removing harmful wastes. Without blood, the human body would stop working. Blood transports oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissue and carbon dioxide from the body tissue to the lungs. Blood is the fluid of growth, transporting nourishment from digestion and hormones from glands throughout the body. Blood is the fluid of health, transporting disease fighting substances to the tissue and waste to the kidneys.
About Hepatitis C
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an inflammation of the liver, transferred chiefly through the blood. It is more difficult to cure than Hepatitis A or B. The condition can often persist for years and is associated with chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.
