Liver disease and hepatitis
A practice question in the style of the MCCQE MCQ exam. Choose your answer to see the explanation.
A 52-year-old man born in 1974 has no known risk factors and asks whether he needs a hepatitis C test. Which statement best reflects Canadian hepatology guidance?
Show the answer
The answer is E: CASL advises one-time testing for his birth cohort.
The Canadian Association for the Study of the Liver recommends one-time testing for everyone born from 1945 to 1975, plus anyone with risk factors, because most Canadians with hepatitis C were born in that period and many are unaware. The Canadian Task Force recommends risk-based testing only, and some provinces now offer a one-time test to all adults.
