Hepatitis C: The Cure Is Possible, but Awareness Is Key
“I never thought much about the liver. It was just another organ doing its job quietly in the background, like a backstage crew member you forget is there until the show falls apart. I didn’t know what hepatitis C really was. I’d heard the name tossed around in medical shows or health pamphlets at the clinic, but I never imagined it would change my life—or save it.”
Response to therapy with direct antiviral drugs in HCV-infected patients with diabetes
“The clinical and metabolic interactions between hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and diabetes mellitus (DM) are well documented. The study aimed to compare HCV-infected patients with and without DM. The analysis included 18,968 patients treated with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) between 2015 and 2023, whose data were collected retrospectively.”
Prescription Access and Public Health Outcomes
“The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major public health concern due to its high infection and mortality rates. Recent pharmaceutical innovations known as direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have the potential to cure HCV and can also generate positive health externalities through reduced transmission.”
