Features of Anemia Pathogenesis in Patients with Chronic Hepatitis C, Receiving Combination Antiviral Therapy

Abstract

The use of combination antiviral therapy enables to achieve sustained virologic response in patients with chronic hepatitis C, but in some patients side effects occur during treatment. A special place among the undesirable manifestations of specific therapy for chronic hepatitis C take hematologic syndromes. In this paper we study some features of the pathogenesis of anemia that develops in patients with chronic hepatitis C receiving antiviral drugs.
