Optimal HCV Treatment for Genotype 3 Cirrhotics
« on: April 21, 2016, 03:00:27 pm »
Heard and excellent summary of recent EASL by David Nelson - he shared that if money/insurance is not an issue, the optimal available treatment for cirrhotic patients with GT 3 is sofosbuvir and daclatasvir with/without ribavirin for 24 weeks. When velpatasvir is available, then 24 weeks of that along with sofosbuvir (with/without rib)
