Chronic hepatitis C is highly prevalent with prevalence rate of around 3% involving about 180 million people worldwide, despite major advances in its understanding of viral 1 pathogenesis and significant evolution in antiviral therapies. Most of the patients develop chronic infection because the virus evades the host immune response in majority of patients. Chronic HCV infection can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Complications of HCV-related cirrhosis are the leading indication for liver transplantation in United States and Europe...... J Med Sci 2010;13(2): 39-40.
