Fatty liver in hepatitis C patients post-sustained virological response with direct-acting antivirals
AIM To determine steatosis and fibrosis prevalence in hepatitis C patients after a sustained virological response achieved with direct-acting antivirals. METHODS Transient elastography with controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) was used to assess hepatic steatosis post-sustained virological response (SVR); the CAP technology was not available in the United States at study initiation. Liver s...
متن کاملPredictors Associated with Increase in Skeletal Muscle Mass after Sustained Virological Response in Chronic Hepatitis C Treated with Direct Acting Antivirals
AIMS We aimed to examine changes in skeletal muscle mass in chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients undergoing interferon (IFN)-free direct acting antivirals (DAAs) therapy who achieved sustained virological response (SVR). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 69 CHC patients treated with DAAs were analyzed. We compared the changes in skeletal muscle index (SMI) using bio-impedance analysis at baseline...
متن کاملRetreatment of patients with treatment failure of direct-acting antivirals: Focus on hepatitis C virus genotype 1b
The recent development of direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) against hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection could lead to higher sustained virological response (SVR) rates, with shorter treatment durations and fewer adverse events compared with regimens that include interferon. However, a relatively small proportion of patients cannot achieve SVR in the first treatment, including DAAs with or wit...
متن کاملHigh sustained virological response rates using imported generic direct acting antiviral treatment for hepatitis C
BACKGROUND High prices of direct acting antivirals (DAAs) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) can lead to restrictions on access to treatment in high- and middle-income countries. An increasing number of people in these countries are treating their HCV infection with generic drugs produced in India, China, Bangladesh or Egypt. This analysis assessed the efficacy of generic imported DAAs. METHODS Pati...
متن کاملDirect-Acting Antivirals Cure Innate Immunity in Chronic Hepatitis C.
or a number of years, immunologists have strived to Funderstand the mechanisms associated with treatment-induced eradication of hepatitis C virus (HCV). However, interferon (IFN)-a–based therapies did not allow studies examining the role of the virus itself on innate and adaptive immunity to HCV. The study by Serti et al published in this issue of Gastroenterology provides a unique opportunity ...
