Impact of Sustained Viral Response With Direct-Acting Agents on Glycemic Control and Renal Function in Hepatitis C Liver Transplant Recipients.

CONCLUSIONS: The benefits on glucose metabolism and renal function after a sustained viral response in liver transplant recipients appear to be limited to those with early chronic kidney disease and those treated soon after transplant. The potential benefits from direct-acting antiviral agents on these parameters may be overshadowed by the effects of immunosuppressant therapy. PMID: 30060729 [PubMed - in process]
