Hi guys!
I expanded the vaccination recommendation sentence in

Hi guys!
What do we think about converting
Medications into a table format for better clarity?
A simpler version of
[1] would reduce clutter and make the section more engaging.

I not needed, plus there is the concern that it implied liver failure and liver cancer are not life threatening.
"In some cases, those with cirrhosis will develop complications such as liver failure, liver cancer, or dilated blood vessels in the esophagus and stomach."
All are life threatening. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 09:58, 8 March 2019 (UTC)

I am working in Infectious Diseases in British Columbia, Canada. We see a large number of hepatitis C patients. A screening tool used to assess the severity of hepatic fibrosis in these patients is a Fibroscan. Adding this method of monitoring for both the need for treatment aswell as the progress of the patient's over hepatic health would be very beneficial to this topic, as one does not need biopsies to assess fibrosis anymore.

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-54418463 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:C1:C001:E860:6154:8770:91BF:16C8 ( talk) 10:29, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
This is a really controversial subject which is not treated in that way in this article. For instance, there have been no reported reactivations of hepatitis C infection in persons who successfully have been treated against hepatitis C and that later receive immunosuppressive treatment. This is the opposite to occult hepatitis B which is well described combined with a plausable theory of how occult infection is maintained.
It´s also suspicious that the majority of citations is from a group propagating for the existence of occult hepatitis C infection, a condition not generally accepted among hepatitis C researchers.
I recommend a total make-over of that section to improve the quality of the article.
A lot of information in this article is out of date and incorrect. Some parts are updated to current practice (DAA treatment for different genotypes) while other parts, like post-transplant treatment and research, are hopelessly out of date (seems to be written around 2011-2014).
This article doesn´t meet the criteria for high quality.
This was added. It is based on a primary source so not quite suitable:
Comments welcome. JFW | T@lk 21:00, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
WHO's latest reports and newer data sources are now available, but updating this section may take some time. Worldwide infection, mortality and treatment numbers have been updated, as has the "infection rate by country" map. More edits to this section and possibly reorganizing paragraph/data order would e helpful.

This NPR piece was quite interesting, and probably deserves mention with medical sources: Hep C has a secret strategy to evade the immune system. And now we know what it is -- Beland ( talk) 07:46, 8 November 2023 (UTC)
