Core Tip Hepatitis B and C infection contribute significantly to the global burden of liver disease. With the introduction of modern antiviral therapy, there is now an effective curative treatment for hepatitis C and potent suppressive antiviral therapy for hepatitis B. Antiviral therapy has had a positive impact on liver disease by reducing hospitalisation rates and hence, cost to global health systems. Rates of decompensation, hepatocellular carcinoma and need for transplantation have all been lowered. This review article assesses the literature and summarises the impact of modern antiviral therapy of chronic hepatitis B and C on clinical outcomes from liver disease.
