One-step diagnosis. A key tool for the elimination of hepatitis C. Rev Esp Enferm Dig. 2020 Jul 02;112:513-514 Authors: Herrero JI, Ampuero J, Fernández Rodríguez CM Abstract Hepatitis C is a major cause of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, as well as the primary indication for liver transplant in Europe. The highly effective direct-acting antivirals currently available make it possible to achieve the hepatitis C elimination targets set by the World Health Organization. For this, population screening and one-step diagnosis are fundamental strategies. PMID: 32611193 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
