Hepatitis C virus infection is a global health issue, often leading to chronic liver disease. General practitioners play a key role in preventing, screening, and managing hepatitis C patients.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Virology
  • Public Health

Context:

  • Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection affects 200 million globally, with 1% in Belgium.
  • Over 80% of cases progress to chronic infection, risking severe liver disease like cirrhosis and hepatocarcinoma.
  • HCV poses a significant public health challenge worldwide and in Belgium.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the critical role of general practitioners in managing hepatitis C.
  • To outline the responsibilities of general practitioners in HCV patient care pathways.
  • To emphasize the importance of primary care in controlling HCV infection.

Summary:

  • General practitioners are central to hepatitis C management, from prevention and screening to monitoring and treatment discussions.
  • They advise on risk factors, screen high-risk populations, and manage patient adherence and side effects during antiviral therapy.
