Priority for treatment will be directed towards patients with F3 and F4. • No differentiation in treatment priority will be established based on the previous treatment experience.
Assessment of fibrosis stage will be performed by using a combination of both Fibroscan results and FIB 4 score. F3-4 stage will be considered if both Fibroscan result is more than 9.5 and FIB4 score is more than 1.45. If both results are below these cut-off values, patient will not be assigned as a treatment priority . If one of these two methods is above the cut-off value while the other is below, performing liver biopsy or re-assessment after one year is recommended to rule out the fibrosis stage of the patient.
Upper GI endoscopy is mandatory in the following circumstances: a. Histological evidence of cirrhosis by liver biopsy b. Fibroscan > 19.2 K.Pa c. Platelet count < 100,000
Patients who are eligible to receive Interferon (according to the currently used inclusion/exclusion criteria for combined IFN/RBV treatment)will be treated with daily Sofosbuvir (400 mg) and weight-based RBV (1000 mg [<75 kg] to 1200 mg [>75 kg]) plus weekly PEG for 12 weeks. • Recommended regimen for patients who are not eligible to receive IFN is daily Sofosbuvir (400 mg) plus weight-based RBV (1000 mg [<75 kg] to 1200 mg [>75 kg]) for 24 weeks
Inclusion criteria for treatment will be expanded to adapt for more advanced liver fibrosis patients (who will be treated with Interferon free regimen) as defined with the presence of one or more of the following; • Child score up to 8 • Total bilirubin ≤ 3 • Albumin ≥ 2.5 • Platelet count ≥ 50,000 • Prtothrombin concentration ≥ 50% • Hemoglobin concentration ≥ 10 mg • Otherwise, waiting for new DAAs combination is advised.
Patients with more decompensated liver disease will be excluded from treatment until enough data will be available and this will be applied to: • Child C patients with scores ≥ 9 • Presence of ascites (except after control) • Patients with HCC except after successful radical curative intervention (4 months after resection or successful local ablation) evident by triphasic CT. • Presence of large risky esophageal varices (except after prophylactic management)
Age limits for treatment legibility will be above 18 years and below 70 years for all patients while BMI will be accepted up to 35. • The same rules will be applied for all patients regardless the source of payment and there will be no role for patients' preferences in deciding the treatment regimen.
For special population groups; priority for treatment will be offered for post liver transplantation, post kidney transplantation patients and combined HCV/HBV infection regardless the fibrosis stage • . Other groups like Pediatric age group and kidney disease patients will be kept for discussion after the availability of enough data.
Patients with documented extra-hepatic manifestations will be prioritized for treatment according to the same guidelines. • Treatment experienced patients should not start evaluation for new treatment regimens except after 6 months from cessation of interferon therapy.
