Core Tip |
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of hepatic decompensation in a hepatitis C patient with Child Pugh class A cirrhosis due to treatment with Paritaprevir, Ombitasvir, Dasabuvir, Ritonavir and Ribavirin (PODr + R). Liver aminotransferase levels did not increase prior to decompensation, depriving us of our usual alarm signs heralding hepatic decompensation. The patient achieved sustained virologic response despite very early discontinuation of therapy (day 24). |
