Abstract:
The research and development of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) for hepatitis C achieved significant results in the last decade .DAAs is highly effective in treatment of hepatitic C patients with convenience and safety , and the sustained virological response of DAAs is over 90%, which will greatly contribute to achieving the WHO's goal of eliminating hepatitis C by 2030.The European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL), American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and WHO all updated guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis C in 2018, which will play a positive role for the management of hepatitis C globally .This article reviews the related guidelines and literature on prevention and treatment of hepatitis C , and summarizes the advantages of antiviral therapy for severe hepatic impairment patients and special population with HCV infection .
