Introduction And Objective: Inclusion of direct-acting antivirals into clinical practice in patients with chronic HCV (CHC) has been a milestone in medicine.
Patients And Methods: Analytical, prospective study, involving 126 patients with chronic HCV treated with direct-acting antivirals. Efficacy and safety of treatment and factors associated with failure treatment were evaluated.
Background And Objective: We analyzed baseline and kinetic characteristics of lipid metabolism during the first month of bitherapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C genotype 1 (CHC-1).
Patients And Methods: A longitudinal, prospective study including 99 naïve CHC-1 patients with liver biopsy who were treated with bitherapy. Our patients were assigned to one of 5 different "degrees of lipid requirement" that we established depending on the degree of liver fibrosis, baseline viral load and infectivity ratio (ratio between the median level of triglycerides and high densitity lipoproteins-cholesterol during the first month).
