title: Hepatitis C in 2013: HCV causes systemic disorders that can be cured.
abstract: Successful treatment with antivirals reduces the incidence of some extrahepatic manifestations of HCV. Thus, the advent of well-tolerated and highly potent antiviral regimens might enable extension of the indication for therapy to patients at risk of developing serious extrahepatic disorders, irrespective of the severity of the underlying liver disease.
