New HCV Guidance: How to Monitor Patients at Various Stages of Treatment

Issue: November 2014

In late September, the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases and the Infectious Diseases Society of America, in collaboration with the International Antiviral Society-USA, issued new recommendations on the monitoring of patients at various stages of hepatitis C virus treatment.

The new section, Monitoring Patients Who Are Starting HCV Treatment, Are On Treatment, Or Have Completed Therapy, is available on HCVguidelines.org. The guidance is divided into three parts: pretreatment and on-treatment monitoring; post-treatment follow-up for patients who failed treatment; and post-treatment follow-up for patients who achieved sustained virologic response (click image below).
