Summary
This study follows 121 adults who have been cured of chronic hepatitis C to understand why some still develop liver complications like scarring or cancer. Participants are monitored for up to 10 years with regular tests, scans, and occasional liver biopsies. The goal is to learn more about long-term health after a hepatitis C cure.
