Core Tip	The present review describes the evidence-based consensus on the diagnosis, prevention and management of hepatitis C virus (HCV) disease. Besides the conventional techniques more advanced technologies have come to the front that provides best detection with greater ease and specificity. It is of immense importance to prevent this infection among the sexual partners, injecting drug users, mother-to-infant transmission of HCV, household contact, healthcare workers and people who get tattoos and piercing on their skin. Management includes examining the treatment, assessment of hepatic condition before commencing therapy, controlling the parameters upon which dual and triple therapies work, monitoring after treatment and adjusting the co-factors.
