Core Tip |
Hepatitis C is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, mainly through portal hypertension complications. Hepatitis C treatment is associated with improvement of liver function and fibrosis, better quality of life and reduced mortality. The knowledge of the impact of viral clearance on portal hypertension is also relevant because it greatly influences clinical outcomes and can influence management after treatment. Several studies show that the benefits on portal hypertension are higher if treatment is delivered before clinically significant portal hypertension is developed, encouraging timely and early treatment with the highly efficacious and safe direct antiviral agents. |
