APASL consensus statements and recommendation on treatment of hepatitis C

The Asian-Pacific Association for the Study of the Liver (APASL) convened an international working party on the APASL consensus statements and recommendation on management of hepatitis C in March, 2015, in order to revise APASL consensus statements and management algorithms for hepatitis C virus infection (Hepatol Int 6:409-435, 2012). The working party consisted of expert hepatologists from the Asian-Pacific region gathered at Istanbul Congress Center, Istanbul, Turkey on 13 March 2015. New data were presented, discussed and debated to draft a revision. Participants of the consensus meeting assessed the quality of cited studies. Finalized recommendations on treatment of hepatitis C are presented in this review.
