Key Words Hepatitis C; Steatotic liver disease; Direct-acting antivirals; Real-world study, hepatitis C virus
Core Tip Steatotic liver disease (SLD) is common in patients with chronic hepatitis C and shapes their overall health and treatment journey. In our real-world study, SLD patients were older, had higher body mass index, and carried more metabolic and liver-related risks, leading to lower response rates to antiviral therapy. Yet, SLD itself was not the culprit - other comorbidities were. This highlights that successful treatment depends not only on antivirals but also on managing the broader metabolic and lifestyle factors that impact liver health.
