Type: article
Abstract: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the main causes of chronic liver disease worldwide [1]. The long-term impact of HCV infection is highly variable, ranging from minimal histological changes to extensive fibrosis and cirrhosis with or without hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The number of chronically infected persons worldwide is estimated to be about 160million, but most are unaware of their infection. The implementation of extended criteria for screening for HCV is a subject of major debate among different stakeholders.
