Core Tip This letter discusses the real-world findings of Janczura et al, who evaluated the impact of steatotic liver disease on chronic hepatitis C virus infection in the era of direct-acting antivirals. Their work highlights how metabolic dysfunction, aging, and genotype-specific characteristics contribute to persistent liver risk despite viral cure. By emphasizing the role of noninvasive steatosis assessment in identifying high-risk patients and guiding long-term monitoring, this correspondence reinforces the clinical relevance of steatotic liver disease in shaping the prognosis and follow-up strategies for individuals with current or past hepatitis C virus infection.
