Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) increases the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) while effective HCV treatment decreases the incidence of CKD
Haesuk Park, Chao Chen, Wei Wang, Linda Henry, Robert L. Cook, David R. Nelson – 5 September 2017 – We assessed the risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV)‐infected patients and the incidence reduction of CKD after receipt of HCV treatment. We also evaluated the risk of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) and cryoglobulinemia in chronic HCV patients. A retrospective cohort analysis of the Truven Health MarketScan Database (2008‐2015) in the United States was conducted.
