To evaluate hepatic fibrosis progression or regression in CHC patients after sofosbuvir-based therapy.\n2. To evaluate the durability of sustained viral response (SVR) in patients achieving SVR after sofosbuvir-based therapy.\n3. To evaluate long-term effect of sofosbuvir-based therapy on the extra-hepatic manifestations of the cohort.
