Prognosis
Responses to treatment vary by HCV C genotype, and is measured by sustained viral response. Sustained response is about 40-50% in people with HCV genotype 1 given 48 weeks of treatment. Sustained response is seen in 70-80% of people with HCV genotypes 2 and 3 with 24 weeks of treatment. Sustained response is about 65% in those with genotype 4 given 48 weeks of treatment. The evidence for treatment in genotype 6 disease is sparse, and the evidence that exists is for 48 weeks of treatment at the same doses as are used for genotype 1 disease.
