Take-Home Message After the cure of HCV infection, regression of fibrosis varies and the risk of liver-related complications remains, even in the absence of cirrhosis. Comorbidities such as diabetes, obesity or alcohol consumption can play a major role in the outcome of liver disease in SVR patients and should be managed. Although not currently recommended in guidelines, noninvasive tests could be useful for assessing the outcome of fibrosis in SVR patients without cirrhosis. Screening for HCC after HCV cure is recommended in patients with extensive fibrosis.
