Core Tip |
Oral combination therapy with the direct-acting antiviral agents daclatasvir and asunaprevir, which are both metabolized largely in the liver, is a very useful strategy for dialysis patients infected with genotype 1b hepatitis C virus. Although there were only 4 dialysis patients, the combination therapy was effective and showed a relatively favorable safety profile. One patient was admitted for heart failure with or without pneumonitis and percutaneous coronary intervention, although the causal relationship between these adverse events and the combination therapy was interpreted as negative. Our case reports warrant further studies, although careful observation during the treatment is needed.
