Book description
Hepatologists, both researchers and front-line clinicians, now have a
comprehensive guide to the treatment of patients with the HCV virus.
This book focuses mainly on the efficacy and clinical use of antiviral
therapies, including the use of antivirals post liver transplantation
and in the presence of the HIV virus. It also explores the foundations
for understanding antiviral therapies in HCV, such as the complex
pharmacology and mechanisms of antiviral drugs. A 'late-breaking
information' chapter contains the most recent trial results on the
latest antiviral drugs.
