Abstract:
The use of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C and its approval in China applying the goal proposed by the World Health Organization is an important step towards eliminating viral hepatitis as public health threat by 2030. However, we also need to create a model that is suitable and short duration therapy for the Chinese patients. On the other hand, it is also essential to study the reverse hepatic fibrosis and the emerging problems of hepatitis C-related liver cancer.
