Introduction
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is
a small single-stranded
RNA virus with a lipid
envelope (E) containing
glycoproteins (E1 and
E2) and a core with a
genome consisting of
9600 nucleotides.

The genetic sequence of HCV is characterized by
a high rate of spontaneous mutations, with
major implications for escape from the human
immune system and the development of an
effective vaccine.

HCV isolates are classified into six
distinct genotypes depending on
sequence homology.

EPIDEMIOLOGY
The WHO estimates that HCV infection affects
130 to 170 million people worldwide.
Egypt has the highest HCV prevalence rate in the
world, estimated nationally about 15 % of the
adult population.

HCV related renal disease

Management
It is suggested that the decision to treat be
based on the potential benefits and risks of
therapy, including life expectancy, candidacy
for kidney transplantation, and
comorbidities.

Benefits of treatment
• Prevention of HCV complication as HCC ,
Lymphoma
• Reduced morbidity :
- Liver disease.
- Extra hepatic manifestation.
- Lymph proliferative disease.
- Cardiovascular complication.
• Improved survival on hemodialysis.
• preparation for transplantation.
• Elimination of disease dissemination.

Important Consideration
• eGFR by MDRD equation .

•Compensated cirrhosis …. >F3 by fibroscan or
equivalent chemical model.
•Decompensate cirrhosis ….. child paugh score
class B-7 or higher.
•Ribavirin dose …. withdrawal if not tolerated or
Hb level drops by 2 gm/dl despite ESA.

• HBV co-infection
Patients should be treated with the same
protocols as HCV mono-infected patients. If
HBV replicates at a significant rate,
concurrent HBV nucleoside/nucleotide
analogue therapy is indicated.

• HIV co-infection
Patients co-infected with HCV and HIV have higher
HCVRNA levels, higher rate of HCV persistence and
faster progression to cirrhosis and end stage liver
disease. The same IFN-free HCV treatment
recommendations for HIV/HCV co-infected persons
as for those with HCV-only infection.

• Drug drug interaction :
Don’t forget to modify doses of cyclosporin, tacrolimus,
sirolimus & everlimus according to blood level in
transplanted patients.
The interaction in between sofosbuvir and amiodarone
was the earliest life threatening complication,
hallmarked by bradycardia and cardiac arrest.
Querevo protocol … restricted to transplanted patient.
So, used only by transplant expert.

Risk of treatment

Failed treatment
Re-treatment of patients that do not achieve a SVR or
recur after treatment. The choice of retreatment
protocol depends on the failed initial protocol as
follows:
- Those with failed Interferon + Ribavirin protocol
should be treated according to the same
recommendations for treatment-naive patients.

- Olysio based Protocol for failure with any of Harvoni
based Protocol or Daklinza based protocol.
- Harvoni based Protocol or Daklinza based protocol for
failure with any Olysio based Protocol .
- Harvoni based Protocol or Daklinza based protocol or
Olysio base for failure with any Qurevo based
Protocol .

Adjunctive therapy

Before or After Transplantation

While pre-transplant HCV eradication was highly
desirable in the interferon era, owing to the risk of
graft loss if the dug was administered after
transplantation, this policy became questionable
with the availability of safe DAAs. This provides
considerable relief if transplantation becomes an
urgent necessity, including that from deceased
donors. However, when it can wait, we strongly
recommend treating patients on the waiting list to
avoid the HCV-associated many-fold increased risk of
thrombotic microangiopathy and acute transplant
glomerulopathy in the early post-transplant period.
