Abstract
Background and aim

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hepatitis C infection can be safely and effectively treated with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs). However, there is scarce data on the long-term impact of hepatitis C cure on CKD. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term mortality, morbidity and hepatic/renal function outcomes in a cohort of HCV-infected individuals with CKD treated with DAAs.

Methods

135 HCV patients with CKD stage 3b-5 who received ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir±dasabuvir in a multicenter study were evaluated for long-term hepatic and renal outcomes and their associated mortality.

Results

125 patients achieved SVR and 66 were included. Prior to SVR, 53 were under renal replacement therapy (RRT) and 25 (37.8%) had liver cirrhosis. After a follow-up of 4.5 years, 25 (38%) required kidney transplantation but none combined liver–kidney. No changes in renal function were observed among the 51 patients who did not receive renal transplant although eGFR values improved in those with baseline CKD stage 3b-4. Three (5.6%) subjects were weaned from RRT. Eighteen (27.3%) patients died, mostly from cardiovascular events; 2 developed liver decompensation and 1 hepatocellular carcinoma. No HCV reinfection was observed.

Conclusions

Long-term mortality remained high among end-stage CKD patients despite HCV cure. Overall, no improvement in renal function was observed and a high proportion of patients required kidney transplantation. However, in CKD stage 3b-4 HCV cure may play a positive role in renal function.

Resumen
Introducción y objetivo

Los pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica (IRC) e infección por el virus de la hepatitis C (VHC) pueden ser tratados de forma efectiva y segura con antivirales de acción directa (AAD). El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar la mortalidad y la evolución de la función renal y hepática a largo plazo en una cohorte de pacientes con infección por VHC e IRC tratados con AAD.

Métodos

Se analizó la evolución de la función hepática y renal, así como la mortalidad en 135 pacientes con infección por VHC e IRC estadio 3b-5 que recibieron ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir±dasabuvir en un estudio multicéntrico.

Resultados

Ciento veinticinco pacientes se curaron (RVS), y 66 de ellos fueron incluidos. Antes de RVS, 53 estaban bajo terapia renal sustitutiva (TRS) y 25 (37,8%) tenían cirrosis hepática. Tras un seguimiento medio de 4,5 años, 25 (38%) requirieron trasplante renal, pero ninguno combinado renal-hepático. No se observaron cambios en la función renal entre aquellos 51 pacientes que no recibieron trasplante renal a pesar de que los valores de eFGR mejoraron en aquellos pacientes con IRC estadio 3b-4 de base. Tres (5,6%) pacientes pudieron dejar la TRS. Dieciocho (27,3%) pacientes fallecieron, principalmente por eventos cardiovasculares, 2 presentaron descompensación hepática y uno carcinoma hepatocelular. No se observó ninguna reinfección por VHC.

Conclusiones

La mortalidad a largo-plazo fue alta. Globalmente no se objetivó una mejora en la función renal. A pesar de ello, en estadios 3b-4, la curación del VHC podría tener un papel positivo en la función renal.
