What do we think about converting Medications into a table format for better clarity?
A simpler version of  would reduce clutter and make the section more engaging.

message: I not needed, plus there is the concern that it implied liver failure and liver cancer are not life threatening.
"In some cases, those with cirrhosis will develop complications such as liver failure, liver cancer, or dilated blood vessels in the esophagus and stomach."
All are life threatening.

replies: text: Also, relative to the question as to why this complication of the disease merits note as being "life-threatening"? The reason as to why this is beneficial to have in this article is that non-medical/scientific readers who are not familiar with varices (particularly esophageal varices) will be better informed of this issue. This is as opposed to issues like liver failure and liver cancer that are self-evident for being fatal complications to this disease even for non-medical, non-scientific readers.

replies: text: It would be better to simple refer to all of them as serious. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 10:33, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that sounds logical, still, in the interest of better informing our readers varices should be given due respect. Average readers are not going to be familiar with varices that do lead to death while they almost certainly will be familiar with those better known complications.

replies: text: Thanks your most recent change works for me. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 13:25, 8 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Seemed like a reasonable solution but honestly as you've expressed previously liver failure and liver cancer are given to be serious. Varices not so much. Your suggested "serious" edit more or less groups varices in the same level as the two others so that essentially covers it. As a side note, I know that you work very extensively on wikipedia and related projects and have done so for many years particularly with respect to medical articles and you deserve recognition for that, so thank you for helping to improve the project in the ways that you focus on.

thread_title:  KDIGO 

message: I am working in Infectious Diseases in British Columbia, Canada. We see a large number of hepatitis C patients. A screening tool used to assess the severity of hepatic fibrosis in these patients is a Fibroscan. Adding this method of monitoring for both the need for treatment aswell as the progress of the patient's over hepatic health would be very beneficial to this topic, as one does not need biopsies to assess fibrosis anymore. Thank you EDIT: Please see Elastography Wikipedia link.PenguinKowalski (talk) 21:57, 25 September 2019 (UTC)

:Interestingly, the ability to produce interferon lambda 4 (i.e., carriage of IFNL4 rs12979860 CT or TT genotype), in addition to male gender, absent/mild steatosis, and lower viral load, augments antibody levels against HCV.

message: WHO's latest reports and newer data sources are now available, but updating this section may take some time. Worldwide infection, mortality and treatment numbers have been updated, as has the "infection rate by country" map. More edits to this section and possibly reorganizing paragraph/data order would e helpful.
