It depends on the stage of infection, treatment of chronic hcv infection has 2 goals. The first is to achieve sustained eradication of hcv (ie, svr), which is defined as the persistent absence of hcv rna in serum 6 months or more after completing antiviral treatment. The second goal is to prevent progression to cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc), and decompensated liver disease requiring liver transplantation.
