BackgroundThe hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major public health problem and a leading cause of chronic liver disease. 5 An estimated 180 million people are infected worldwide. 6 In the United States (US), the prevalence of HCV infection between the years 1999 and 2002 was 1.6%, equating to about 4.1 million persons positive for antibody to hepatitis C (anti-HCV), 80% of whom are estimated to be viremic. 7 Hepatitis C is the principal cause of death from liver disease and the leading indication for liver transplantation in the US 8 Some calculations suggest that mortality related to HCV infection (death from liver failure or hepatocellular carcinoma) will continue to increase over the next two decades. 9 The purpose of this document is to provide clinicians with evidence-based approaches to the prevention, diagnosis, and management of HCV infection.
