Advances in Hep-C Treatment Provide Incentive for Screening - Mercy Medical Center

The most common blood-borne viral infection in the United States, Hepatitis C (HCV), can lead to cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer. It impacts more than 4 million people, the vast majority “baby boomers,” those born 1945-1965, who are encouraged to undergo a simple HCV blood test as significant breakthroughs have been made recently to successfully treat this disease.

Research by medical professionals and physicians at The Institute for Digestive Health and Liver Disease have led to the development of a new class of drugs with few side-effects and a 95 percent cure rate. Learn more at www.mdmercy.com.
