Abstract

Introduction: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is strongly associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It is an independent risk factor for developing CKD and significantly increases morbidity and mortality in CKD patients. Treatment with newer direct-acting antiviral (DAA) regimens in patients with CKD is showing conflicting results as regards safety and efficacy. Objectives: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of DAAs and their impact on kidney function in CKD patients. Patients and Methods: We conducted a prospective observational study on 100 CKD patients stages 3-4, receiving treatment for HCV at MASRI (Faculty of Medicine Ain Shams University Research Institute), with two different DAAs regimens (sofosbuvir/daclatasvir with or without ribavirin and ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir [OMV/PTV/RTV] with ribavirin), completed over six months follow up. Serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and proteinuria were followed during and after treatment. Results: Sustained virological response (SVR) was achieved in all patients. Improvement of eGFR (8-15 mL/min/1.73 m2) and proteinuria was found in both study groups. Acute kidney injury (AKI) was uncommon; it occurred in three (3%) patients, out of them, two patients showed complete recovery. Adverse events were common (43%), but serious adverse events were uncommon (2%). Conclusion: DAA regimens were effective and well-tolerated for HCV infected patients with stage 3-4 CKD, where viral clearance caused improvement in eGFR and proteinuria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
