Chronic Hepatitis C Virus: Lessons from the Past, Promise for the
Future documents the monumental advances that have been made in our
understanding of chronic HCV during the past decade. The first
section reviews the natural history of chronic HCV, how this virus
can affect other organs in addition to the liver, and whether
treating chronic HCV alters the natural history of this disease.
Section 2 reviews the advances that have been made in the treatment
of chronic HCV during the past decade with interferon based
therapy. Separate chapters on response guided therapy and how to
manage the adverse events associated with these medications provide
the physician with the concepts required to more effectively treat
chronic HCV now and in the future. As the genetics of virologic
response have recently been elucidated, a chapter is devoted to
helping the clinician understand how genes that modulate disease
processes and their treatment are identified and utilized in
clinical care. Section 3 deals with the future of HCV treatment and
specific inhibitors of HCV. Specific chapters explain how targets
for drugs are identified and how drugs are then developed and
tested; how mutations of HCV develop and how anti-viral agents will
affect this process; the most up to date data regarding the
treatment of chronic HCV with peginterferon, ribavirin and
anti-viral agents; and the potential to treat chronic HCV with just
oral anti-viral agents and without peginterferon and ribavirin in
the future. The final section of this book covers issues related to
liver transplantation in patients with chronic HCV. Separate
chapters review the natural history of chronic HCV in liver
transplant recipients and the impact of utilizing HCV positive
donors. The volume concludes with chapters that cover the treatment
of chronic HCV both prior to and after liver transplantation with
potent anti-viral agents. Chronic Hepatitis C Virus: Lessons from
the Past, Promise for the Future is a valuable resource for all
physicians caring for patients with chronic HCV.
