AASLD/IDSA Launches up-to-date guidance for the treatment of hepatitis C
Online Expert Advice for Clinicians Treating Hepatitis C Now Available at HCVguidelines.org
Last week the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and the Infectious
Diseases Society of America (IDSA), in collaboration with the International Antiviral Society-
USA (IAS-USA), announced the launch of a new website,
HCVguidelines.org,
that will offer up-
to-date guidance for the treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.
It is estimated that between 3 and 4 million Americans are infected with HCV and have chronic
liver disease as a result. The most recent generation of direct-acting antivirals has the potential
to cure most patients with HCV. However, the rapid
pace of drug development has left medical
providers and insurance companies unsure what the optimal treatments are. The guidance
provided through
HCVguidelines.org
will assist clinicians in using these and other treatments in
the care of their patients.
HCVguidelines.org
is the result of an ongoing collaboration between
the two medical
professional societies and IAS-USA.
New sections will be added, and the recommendations will be updated on a
regular basis as new information becomes available. An ongoing summary
of "recent changes" will also be available for readers who want to be
directed to updates and changes.
