Abstract
Years ago, patients with hemophilia were often cared for because of liver issues. The use of hemoderivatives in the 1970s and 1980s, and the natural history of chronic hepatitis B and C, led to a surge of patients with cirrhosis and related complications after two or three decades. It was not until the approval of entecavir and tenofovir (2005-2008) against the B virus, and of direct-acting antiviral agents (2015) against the C virus, that a truly effective treatment became available for liver disease. Since then, patients with hemophilia disappeared from hepatology clinics and wards, apart from specific isolated problems.
