ABSTRACT
At present, long-acting interferon combined with ribavirin is still a major therapeutic method for hepatitis C in China, and precision medicine can help cure more patients with hepatitis C. This article briefly introduces the diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis in China and the importance of the strategy of virologic response-guided therapy (RGT), and analyzes the influencing factors for the achievement of sustained virologic response. HCV RNA quantitation is the foundation of RGT strategy, and HCV RNA quantitation with a high specificity performed at crucial time points during treatment helps to evaluate response accurately, realize the individualized treatment of hepatitis C, and improve the cure rate of hepatitis C.
