Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection affects millions globally, leading to chronic liver disease. This review covers HCV

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology and Virology

Background:

  • Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a significant global health concern, with up to 3% of the world's population infected.
  • Chronic HCV infection affects 80% of exposed individuals, increasing the risk of severe liver conditions like cirrhosis and cancer.
  • The UK has a substantial burden, with at least 200,000 adults carrying the virus.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) molecular biology and pathogenesis.
  • To detail the epidemiology, hepatic and extra-hepatic manifestations of HCV.
  • To discuss current treatment strategies for acute and chronic HCV infections.

Main Methods:

  • This is a review article, synthesizing existing research and data on HCV.
  • It covers molecular biology, pathogenesis, epidemiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment options.

  • Special populations including healthcare workers, prisoners, and HIV-coinfected individuals are specifically addressed.

    • Main Results:

    • HCV infection has profound molecular and pathogenic effects, leading to significant liver disease.
    • The virus causes both liver-specific (hepatic) and other organ (extra-hepatic) diseases.
    • A range of treatment options are available for both acute and chronic phases of HCV infection.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding HCV's biology, spread, and impact is crucial for public health.
    • Comprehensive management strategies are essential for controlling HCV-related morbidity and mortality.
    • Targeted approaches are needed for high-risk and coinfected populations.
