Abstract
The condition of chronic hepatitis C is becoming more and more serious in China, and its disease burden and social and economic burdens are growing heavier. Currently, the standard regimen for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C in China is the PR regimen, namely pegylated interferon combined with ribavirin; however, there are still many shortcomings in this regimen. In the world, there is rapid clinical progress in direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) for the treatment of hepatitis C, and DAAs will soon be approved and marketed in China, ushering the "DAA Era" of hepatitis C treatment. This article reviews the disease burden of chronic hepatitis C and problems in the standard regimen in clinical treatment and briefly introduces the advantages and challenges of DAAs regimens, in order to provide a reference for the upcoming "DAA Era" of hepatitis C treatment in China.
