| Core Tip |
Alcohol favors hepatitis C virus (HCV) re-plication and diminishes immune response against it, increasing the risk of advanced liver disease. HCV infection prevalence among alcoholics, initially thought to be much higher (up to 50%) than in the general population, has been reported to be lower in recent studies. Intravenous drug use and advanced alcoholic liver disease may confound the prevalence of HCV infection among alcoholics. Before starting HCV infection treatment, patients should be screened for alcohol use disorder and abstinence should be achieved. Baclofen may be the drug of choice for patients with alcohol dependence and advanced liver disease.
