Outline
� Spontaneous clearance versus chronic infection � Variable outcomes of chronic infection � Predictors related to rate of progression of fibrosis
Spontaneous Clearance Versus
Chronic Infection
Slide 5 of 16
Spontaneous Clearance Versus Chronic Infection
� Outcome of acute infection ¡ Clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV): 10%-35% ¡ Development of chronic HCV infection: 65%-90%
� Predictors affecting outcome of acute infection ¡ IL28B genotype ¡ Quasispecies diversification ¡ Size and source of inoculum ¡ Immune status ¡ Clinical features
÷ Development of jaundice

Variable Outcomes of Chronic Infection
Factors Impacting Rate of Progression of Fibrosis
Slide 13 of 16
Predictors Related to Rate of Progression of Fibrosis
� Older age at infection � Male sex � Alcohol � HIV infection � Post-transplant � Quasispecies complexity � Presence of comorbid liver diseases
Slide 14 of 16
Clinical Outcomes of Cirrhosis
� Portal hypertension ¡ Varices ¡ Ascites ¡ Hepatic encephalopathy ¡ Splenomegaly ¡ Thrombocytopenia
� HCC

Slide 16 of 16
Summary
� Most people who are infected with HCV progress to a chronic disease state
� A variety of factors determines individual risk of clearance vs chronicity
� Chronicity leads to variable rates of fibrotic progression
� Cirrhosis leads to ¡ End-Stage Liver Disease ¡ HCC
