摘要：
Treatment protocols for chronic liver disease caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV) and hepatitis B virus have different outcomes among various ethnic groups. Outcome information has been slowed by the limited number of trials aimed at the various ethnic minorities. The current opinion is that there is a vast difference in treatment success with antiviral therapies, especially with African-American men suffering from chronic HCV. This article investigates the up-to-date information in treatment outcomes for the two diseases, and liver transplant survivals.
