We reported the first real data about efficacy of interferon-free therapy of chronic hepatitis C in the Czech Republic. Patients were treated with combined therapy of paritaprevir/ritonavir + ombitasvir + dasabuvir with or without ribavirin. There were 109 patients, predominantly men - 62 (57 %), most of them infected by genotype 1b - 101 patients (93 %), minority infected by genotypes 1a (6/109, 5 %) and 4 (2/109, 2 %). Both treatment-naive (43/109, 39 %), and treatment-experienced patients (66/109, 61 %) were treated. Sustained virological response 12 weeks after therapy termination (SVR12) was 100 %, with exclusion of patients with other reason...

Cirrhosis is the end stage of progressive development of different liver diseases and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality rates. Cirrhosis is associated with a number of potential complications, in particular with development of portal hypertension. Portal hypertension with the production of ascites, hepatic and gastric varices bleeding in the upper part of the gastrointestinal tract, presents the breakpoint in the natural course of cirrhosis, and it is associated with a considerably worse prognosis of patients, with a dramatically increased risk of mortality. A major progress was reached during the past 10-20 years in diagnosing...

Extrahepatic manifestations of HCV infection

Extrahepatic manifestations of hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) are very common. The most common of these is mixed cryoglobulinaemia. Anti-HCV antibodies and viral ribonucleic acid, HCV RNA, can be found in the cryoprecipitates, together with the rheumatoid factor. Cryoglobulins consist of a complex of immunoglobulins that in vitro precipitate upon the cooling bellow the human body temperature. Vasculitis is caused by the deposition of such immune complexes in the small blood vessels. A link with the HCV infection is considered to be established with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, leukocytoclastic vasculitis, lymphoproliferative disorders...
