| Guidelines for
the Management of Hepatitis C Virus Infection Following
is the "Brief Summary" of the medical position statement on the management
of hepatitis C from the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA). This is
the current release of the guidelines from the AGA, published in Gastroenterology
(January 2006). A link to the Complete Summary of the Guidelines is also provided.
According
to the guideline developer, the Clinical Practice Committee meets three times
a year to review all American Gastroenterological Association Institute (AGAI)
guidelines. This review includes new literature searches of electronic databases
followed by expert committee review of new evidence that has emerged since the
original publication date.
It is important to stress that these recommendations
should not be construed as a standard of care. The AGA stresses that the final
decision regarding the care of the patient should be made by the physician with
a focus on all aspects of the patient's current medical situation.
This
document presents the official recommendations of the American Gastroenterological
Association (AGA) on "Management of Hepatitis C."
