Program Overview
Viral hepatitis is a major cause of cirrhosis and liver cancer in the United States. Projections specifically for chronic viral hepatitis C predict a doubling in the number of cases of decompensated cirrhosis and primary liver cancer by 2020 and a 2 to 3 fold increase in deaths. Two new therapies have come to market for the treatment of chronic viral hepatitis C but carry significant risk for anemia and numerous potential drug-drug interactions. This presentation will review the basics of all types of viral hepatitis and highlight management strategies for complications associated with new therapies for chronic viral hepatitis C.
