Could Your Fatigue and Flu-Like Symptoms Be Hepatitis C?

Persistent tiredness? Aching joints? Many people in the UK put these symptoms down to stress, busy lifestyles or minor infections, never considering they could be a sign of Hepatitis C. At Mayfield Clinic, we believe everyone should be empowered to understand their health. If you’re concerned about unexplained symptoms, early detection is key — and easier than ever with an at-home Hepatitis C Antigen Early Detection Blood Test Kit.

What Common Symptoms Should I Look Out For?

It’s important to note that many people with Hepatitis C have no symptoms at all until the liver becomes seriously affected. According to NHS research, up to 75% of people with Hepatitis C in the UK are unaware they have it.

Who Is Most at Risk?

How Does the Home Test Kit Work?

The Mayfield At-Home Hepatitis C Test Kit uses a simple finger-prick blood sample (TDL Tiny). Your sample is processed by a UK-accredited lab, with results typically in just 1 working day. If you prefer, you can also book an in-person blood test at one of our locations.

Can You Reduce Your Risk?
