Abstract:

Hepatitis C virus represents one of the most important public health problems nowadays. Several epidemiological studies have shown a continuous increasing rate of prevalence and incidence with severe consequences in terms of mortality. During the last decades, the treatment of the liver infection has evolved, and now there are available new therapies with better side-effect’ profiles and bigger efficiency. The needs for more therapeutically efficacy also stand behind the numerous comorbidities associated to the liver disease, and also for assuring better quality of life for patients and their families.
