C virus (HCV) infection prepared by the Turkish Association for the Study of the Liver (TASL) and Viral Hepatitis
Society (VHS). The aim of this guidance was to provide updates recommendations to physicians, who are interested
in HCV care on the optimal screening, diagnosis and pre-treatment management for patients with HCV infection
in Turkey. These recommendations, produced by panel experts, were aimed to addresses the management issues
ranging from diagnosis and linkage to care, to the optimal treatment regimen in patients with HCV infection. Recommendations
are based on evidence and opinions of more than 70% of the panelists. This guidance is supported by
the memberships of two societies and not by pharmaceutical companies. This guidance will be updated frequently
