Individuals at high risk: IVDU current and past Recipients of clotting factors before 1987 or blood transfusions/organ transplant before July 1992 Patients on chronic hemodialysis Persons with HIV infection Current sexual partners of HCV-infected individuals CDC and USPSTF recommendations (2013): All individuals born between (50-70 yo) should be screened 45% are expected to have cirrhosis by 2020! Individuals at high risk: IVDU current and past Recipients of clotting factors before 1987 or blood transfusions/organ transplant before July 1992 Patients on chronic hemodialysis Persons with HIV infection Current sexual partners of HCV-infected individuals CDC and USPSTF recommendations (2013): All individuals born between (50-70 yo) should be screened 45% are expected to have cirrhosis by 2020!

10 Which patients should be evaluated for treatment? Commonly-used HCV regimens Everyone! (who is interested) Harvoni (ledipasvir / sofosbuvir) Epclusa (sofosbuvir / velpatasvir) Mavyret (glecaprevir / pibrentasvir) Vosevi (sofosbuvir / velpatasvir / voxilaprevir) Zepatier (elbasvir / grazoprevir) Highly successful! 94%+ rates of sustained virologic response Choice of treatment depends on Please send this information with referral HCV RNA HCV genotype Markers of liver disease severity Platelet Total bilirubin Albumin PT/INR Creatinine HCV Fibrosure / Fibrotest Abdominal ultrasound HIV Ag/Ab, HBV (sag, sab, cab) 10

11 HCV: Key Points Screen all individuals with at high risk for HCV transmission and/or born between (CDC) Screening test: HCV antibody. If positive: HCV RNA, HCV genotype, liver panel, creatinine Non-invasive staging: Plt, INR, Alb, complete abdominal U/S, HCV Fibrosure Many all-oral treatment regimens available, effective, and tolerable UCSF Hepatology has a dedicated HCV treatment team Thank you Jennifer C.
