Hepatites Virais 2018
Summary
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of chronic
liver disease, with approximately 71 million chronically
infected individuals worldwide. Clinical care for patients with
HCV-related liver disease has advanced considerably thanks to
an enhanced understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease, and because of developments in diagnostic procedures
and improvements in therapy and prevention. These European
Association for the Study of the Liver Recommendations on
Treatment of Hepatitis C describe the optimal management of
patients with acute and chronic HCV infections in 2018 and
onwards.
