From a public health perspective, successful HCV treatment also supports primary prevention by decreasing the population of persons capable of transmitting the virus, thereby reducing the incidence of HCV infection. Several well-designed, robust clinical trials have demonstrated the safety147 and high curative efficacy of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir148-158 and sofosbuvir/velpatasvir159-164 among treatment-naive persons without cirrhosis regardless of HCV genotype. Use the most appropriate HCV treatment regimen based on AASLD/IDSA** guidelines. Initiation of DAA therapy for HCV-negative recipients of an allograft from an HCV-viremic donor can occur prophylactically/preemptively (i.e., perioperatively without confirmation of HCV viremia in the recipient) or reactively after documentation of HCV viremia. The CDC also recommends pneumococcal vaccination for all persons with chronic liver disease.93. The characterization of the dynamics of HIV infection. 4. The identification of chemokines with suppressor activity on HIV replication and the discovery of co-receptor molecules for HIV entry. Clerical errors can prove fatal. The new WHO guidelines provide recommended steps for safe phlebotomy and reiterate accepted principles for drawing, collecting blood and transporting blood to laboratories/blood banks. A new AC Forum Rapid Resource on this topic will also be shared and discussed. Transmitted through exposure to blood from an infected person1. For people who develop chronic HCV infection, the most common symptom is fatigue. NYSDOH AIDS Institute Clinical Guidelines Program. Dosing is weight-based (see Table 4). Clinical guidance for treating hepatitis C virus infection: a summary Updated June 2020 | For more information: www.gesa.org.au or gesa@gesa.org.au | Page 2 of 2 Recommended pan-genotypic treatment protocols for treatment-naive people with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and compensated liver disease, including • Persons with current (active) HCV infection should receive education and interventions aimed at: −Reducing progression of liver disease −And preventing transmission of HCV. Emerging data suggest that initiating prophylactic/preemptive DAA therapy before viremia occurs reduces the likelihood of complications, such as fibrosing cholestatic hepatitis.359, 373-376 The prophylactic/preemptive approach may also allow for a shorter duration of DAA treatment,359, 377 although this is not currently recommended outside of a clinical trial setting. [] Treatment for chronic HCV is based on guidelines from the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) and the American Associations for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD), in collaboration with the International Antiviral Society-USA (IAS-USA). 3. Although the registration trial included only adolescents with genotype 1-4,276 glecaprevir/pibrentasvir garnered FDA approval for all genotypes based on the safety and efficacy of the regimen demonstrated in adults.148-150, 152-157, 165-167, 277 The recommendations for use of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir in treatment-experienced adolescents are also based on clinical trial data from adults.154, 156, 176, 278-280 Given its pangenotypic activity and safety and efficacy records in adults, the HCV guidance panel recommends glecaprevir/pibrentasvir as the first choice for adolescent HCV treatment. Jean-Michel Pawlotsky. Real-world data demonstrate a reduction in HCV viremia incidence and prevalence with unrestricted access to HCV therapy.305, 319 Mathematical modeling studies also suggest that scaling up DAA treatment can reduce HCV incidence and prevalence, especially among populations at highest risk of onward transmission (e.g., MSM and PWID).303, 320-322 Additionally, delay introduced by waiting for spontaneous clearance may increase the number of patients lost to follow-up. The discussion in this topic is . Criteria 6: Provider attests to submit SVR12 results to the Department via fax at 651-431-7424 or upon request AND.

This includes implementing universal precautions for preventing transmission of bloodborne pathogens, covering open wounds, cleaning blood-contaminated surfaces with dilute bleach, and avoiding sharing personal hygiene items that might be contaminated with blood, such as toothbrushes, razors, nail clippers, and so on (see Table 2). e-pub ahead of print, Clin Infect Dis 2019. A report on recommended clinical preventive services that should be provided to patients in the course of routine clinical care, including screening for vascular, neoplastic and infectious diseases, and metabolic, hematologic, ... Because the risk of transmission of other bloodborne STIs (e.g., HIV and HBV) is higher in the acute phase of infection, some experts counsel persons with acute HCV to consider using barrier precautions, even in a stable monogamous relationship. Avoid reusing or sharing syringes, needles, water, cotton, and other drug preparation equipment. These detailed, evidence-based recommenda-tions allow for nuance-based clinical decision-making that Transient elastography compared to liver biopsy and morphometry for predicting fibrosis in pediatric chronic liver disease: does etiology matter? Clearance of HCV infection with DAA therapy can improve hepatic function and thereby affect the safety and efficacy of some concomitantly administered medications. These findings have been confirmed in real-world cohort studies for both glecaprevir/pibrentasvir153, 165-167, 181-183 and sofosbuvir/velpatasvir.169, 170, 184-189 Based on these data, recommended regimens for adults eligible for the simplified treatment algorithm are 8 weeks of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir for patients with genotype 1-6 or 12 weeks of sofosbuvir/velpatasvir for those with genotype 1, 2, 4, 5, or 6. Obituary for Dr. Clive Kearon. The subject matter faculty will discuss management strategies for the treatment of cancer-associated venous thromboembolism (VTE) based on the landmark trials, meta-analysis, and published guidelines. Undetectable HCV RNA represents SVR and virologic cure. In 2018, 8,250 liver transplantations were performed in the United States, the largest number ever performed in a single year.339 Despite annual increases in the number of liver transplantations performed in the United States in the 10-year period from 2009 through 2018, more than 14,000 liver transplantation candidates died awaiting the procedure.339 Given the sizable chasm between the number of waitlisted liver transplantation candidates and the pool of available organs, some transplant programs are turning to a previously untapped pool of organs from deceased HCV-viremic donors; historically, these organs were discarded with rare exception.340 Coincident with the marked increase in drug overdose deaths among PWID in the United States,341 this pool of donor organs has sadly increased substantially.342 In stark contrast to this tragic loss of life, the development of safe and highly effective2 DAA therapy provides an opportunity to consider use of allografts from HCV-viremic donors in HCV-negative recipients because iatrogenic HCV infection can be cured with retention of allograft function in the majority of cases. All materials are available for download in their original formats as PDF or PowerPoint. Requests for bulk reprints (minimum, 100 copies) of all guidelines published in Annals of Internal Medicine may be made to Aileen McHugh, via phone at 215-351-2642 or via email at reprints@acponline.org. Protease inhibitors should be avoided in the presence of moderate to severe liver dysfunction (i.e., Child-Pugh B or C).382 Assessment of drug–drug interactions is crucial as some medications are contraindicated or not recommended during DAA therapy (e.g., high-dose proton pump inhibitors [twice daily dosing], amiodarone [contraindicated with sofosbuvir-inclusive regimens], and certain statins [e.g., atorvastatin], among others). 7. As with adults, testing for active HBV infection (i.e., HBsAg, anti-HBc, and anti-HBs) is recommended prior to initiating HCV DAA therapy in pediatric patients due to the risk for HBV reactivation during or after treatment.92, 294, 295 Additionally, on-treatment and posttreatment glucose monitoring for hypoglycemia in children and adolescents with diabetes and INR monitoring in those taking warfarin is recommended due to potential alterations in dose–response relationships associated with DAA-related HCV viral clearance.141-146. Additionally, there is a risk of DAA-associated allograft rejection and possible loss,356-362 and/or reduced allograft function.361, 363-366 Because use of allografts from HCV-viremic donors in HCV-negative recipients is a recent development in transplant medicine, there are no data on possible long-term hepatic and extrahepatic adverse effects associated with HCV exposure, even among those cured of the infection. Alcohol abstinence is strongly advised to reduce the risk for liver disease progression.61, 63, 64, 66-72 Similarly, counsel appropriately aged, untreated pediatric patients and their parents about the importance of maintaining a healthy body weight due to the deleterious effects of insulin resistance on HCV-related fibrosis progression.260-271, Although advanced HCV-related liver disease occurs uncommonly in children and adolescents, hepatic fibrosis progresses over time, and complications may develop during early adulthood. Data demonstrate that HCV treatment can be effectively provided by a broad range of health care professionals with differing expertise—including specialists, primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, clinical pharmacy specialists, physician assistants, and registered nurses—without compromising treatment efficacy or safety.95, 140 Consequently, the HCV guidance panel developed simplified HCV treatment algorithms for treatment-naive adults (without cirrhosis or with compensated cirrhosis), which align with the NASEM plan to eliminate HCV as a US public health burden by 2030. The COVID-19 Treatment Guidelines Panel (the Panel) is committed to updating this document to ensure that health care providers, patients, and policy experts have the most recent information regarding the optimal management of COVID-19 (see the Panel Roster for a list of Panel members). 2605 0 obj <>stream The hepatitis C RNA test can show whether you still have the hepatitis C virus and how much virus is in your blood. Results: The Executive Summary of this 2020 updat-ed guideline contains 52 recommendations: 21 Grade A (40%), 24 Grade B (46%), 7 Grade C (14%), and no Grade D (0%). The goal of treatment is to have no hepatitis C virus detected in your body at least 12 weeks after you complete treatment. 2021 Clinical Care Options, LLC. The rationale for treating persons with HCV infection in the pediatric population mirrors that for adults, i.e., to reduce disease-related morbidity and mortality. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of chronic liver disease, with approximately 71 million chronically infected individuals worldwide. See the online HCV guidance for management and antiviral regimen recommendations for treatment-experienced persons. Treatment of HCV . Persons who have a reactive HCV-antibody test and a negative (not detected) HCV-RNA test should be informed that they do not have evidence of current HCV infection. HCV-RNA testing is a consideration for these individuals, particularly for those with a known risk factor(s). Ongoing alcohol use, however, is not a contraindication to antiviral therapy. Against the background of concern about ministerial responsibility for the health of prisoners in Europe, the members of the WHO European Network on Prison and Health asked the WHO Regional Office for Europe to provide a document on the ... The HCV guidance panel recommends that all programs performing HCV viremia discordant solid organ transplantations have a strategy to execute and document a rigorous informed consent process; assure access to HCV treatment and retreatment, as needed; and ensure long-term follow-up of organ recipients to monitor for potential late consequences of HCV exposure and allograft function. National Technical Guidelines on Anti Retroviral Treatment xi The Technical ART guidelines serve as a guiding document which help the healthcare professionals under various settings to deliver the quality Anti-Retroviral Treatment services to PLHIV in alignment with the vision of the National Programme. HCV life cycle[21-23]HCV is a small enveloped RNA virus belonging to the family Flaviviridae and genus hepacivirus.HCV genomic RNA was single-stranded with positive polarity, which was packaged by core protein and enveloped by a lipid bilayer containing two viral glycoproteins (E1 and E2) to form the virion[].Despite the nucleotide sequence divergence among genotypes, all currently recognized . Successful HCV DAA therapy substantially reduces the risk for cirrhosis complications.256, 257. Use the link below to share a full-text version of this article with your friends and colleagues. Patients with genotype 3 and a baseline Y93H RAS should be treated with glecaprevir/pibrentasvir or an alternative regimen (see the online HCV guidance).

The AAP's authoritative guide on preventing, recognizing, and treating more than 200 childhood infectious diseases. Please see the online HCV guidance for additional information about drug–drug interactions between DAAs and immunosuppressants as well as other medications. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and aspirin should be avoided, if possible, for patients with cirrhosis and esophageal varices due to gastrointestinal bleeding and nephrotoxicity risks. HIV-Hepatitis C Treatment in 2016 - Reported number of acute hepatitis C cases United States, 2000 2014. Importantly, complex interactions occur between DAAs and calcineurin inhibitors.383-388 Coadministration of elbasvir/grazoprevir and cyclosporine leads to a 15-fold increase in grazoprevir and a 2-fold increase in elbasvir area under the concentration–time curve389; this DAA regimen and immunosuppressant combination should be avoided. Ultrasound-based, liver elastography appears increasingly promising for monitoring children and adolescents with chronic HCV infection.232-236, HCV-related liver disease generally progresses more slowly in children and adolescents compared to adults, although disease progression is unpredictable.191, 221, 237-239 Despite a paucity of data evaluating risk factors for HCV disease progression in the pediatric population, children with comorbid conditions (e.g., obesity with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, congenital heart disease with elevated right heart pressures, and HIV and/or HBV coinfection) and those receiving hepatotoxic drugs require careful monitoring.87-90, 191, 226, 240, Advanced HCV-related liver disease develops infrequently in children and teens, usually occurring more than 30 years after initial infection.241-243 Cirrhosis is uncommon and HCC even more rare, occurring almost exclusively in those with cirrhosis.213, 214, 242, 244-253 Limited evidence suggests that children with chronic hepatitis C and a history of childhood leukemia may be at increased risk of developing HCC.254, 255 The HCV guidance panel recommends HCC surveillance using liver ultrasound imaging (with or without alpha-fetoprotein testing) every 6 months for pediatric patients with HCV and cirrhosis, consistent with AASLD guidance for HCC surveillance in adults.78 A baseline endoscopy to detect esophageal varices and every 3 years thereafter (in the absence ofviral clearance) is advisable for these patients. Expert selections of the most important viral hepatitis data from EASL 2020, including HCV elimination and HCV and HBV treatment, provided by CCO.

If stabilized, mental health disorders are not contraindications to HCV treatment. GOAL 4 . The HCV guidance panel classifies therapeutic regimens as recommended, alternative, or not recommended based on patient factors (i.e., treatment-naive versus experienced, cirrhosis status, and comorbidities) and viral characteristics (i.e., genotype, subtype, resistance-associated substitutions). Although clinical trial data demonstrate the safety and efficacy of elbasvir/grazoprevir among HCV-negative kidney transplant recipients of allografts from HCV-viremic donors,378-381 it is recommended as an alternative regimen due to the necessity for baseline RAS testing and the need for addition of ribavirin to the regimen if RASs are present. These guidelines have been approved by the four organizations that make up the Cooperating Parties for the ICD-10-CM: the American Hospital Association (AHA), the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA), CMS, and NCHS. 7 Patients who experience deteriorating hepatic laboratory parameters and/or new-onset jaundice, ascites, encephalopathy, or other new liver-related signs or symptoms should promptly see a liver specialist. Similarly, in August 2019, the USPSTF published a draft recommendation for universal HCV screening among adults aged 18-79 years. Learn more. and you may need to create a new Wiley Online Library account. This assessment (i.e., presence or absence of cirrhosis) can usually be accomplished with noninvasive tests (Table 3). Limited short-term data from liver,340, 357, 390, 391 kidney,358, 378-380, 390-394 heart,359, 373, 390, 395 and lung359, 374 transplant programs performing solid organ transplantations involving HCV-viremic donors and HCV-negative recipients are encouraging. Ongoing imaging surveillance for HCC and gastroesophageal varices is recommended for patients with cirrhosis.78-80 Cirrhosis with portal hypertension portends a greater likelihood of developing future hepatic complications in untreated patients.81, 82 Transient elastography provides point-of-care information regarding liver stiffness and can reliably distinguish patients with a high versus low likelihood of cirrhosis.83-85, Screening for HBV with an FDA-approved hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) assay and HIV with an FDA-approved HIV-antigen/antibody test is recommended because these coinfections are associated with a poorer HCV prognosis.86-90 Persons who test positive for HBsAg require additional monitoring during HCV treatment due to HBV reactivation risk.91 Anti-HBV therapy is another consideration for these patients. Allograft recipients who are HCV viremic can potentially sexually transmit the virus to their partner(s), particularly among MSM.74, 367-372.
