Abstract

The goal of HCV treatment is to prevent cirrhosis, hepatocellularcarcinoma, liver-related deaths. The development of direct-actingantiviral (DAA) agents which target various steps in HCV lifecycleled to a revolution by providing nearly complete eradication ofHCV. The new treatment regimens with high cure rates havechanged the standards of care in the regions where patients haveaccess to new treatments. This review addresses the recent updatesin management of chronic hepatitis C infection.Keywords: Hepatitis C, New treatments, Direct antiviral agents

Keywords

Hepatit C, Yeni tedaviler, Direkt antiviral ajanlar
