Fatty liver improves rapidly after hepatitis C cure

Liver stiffness and liver fat (steatosis) in people with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection both improve significantly after treatment with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) resulting in sustained virological response (SVR), investigators from Japan report in Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics. Both measures of liver health were assessed six months after SVR. Improvement was associated with a reduction in ALT levels and an increase in platelet count.

HepCure Patient App
The patient app is a free resource for patients with hepatitis C, which allows them to track medication adherence, symptoms, and gain access to resources. It is available to download for free on iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play) operating systems. While the app can be used by patients independently from the dashboard, it can also be linked with the provider dashboard. Providers can push lab data to patients and track treatment adherence and symptom data input by patients in real time.
