Range of extrahepatic implications in patients with chronic hepatitis c depending on the infection with different genotypes of the virus and the virus load

Abstract

In the work the range of extrahepatic implications in patients with chronic hepatitis C depending on the infection with different genotypes of virus and level of virus load is analyzed. Prevalence of infection with 1st and 3rd genotypes of virus and low virus load is shown. Frequency of development of separate extrahepatic implications doesn’t depend on virus genotype and level of virus load. The range of extrahepatic implications is characterized by the most frequent development of mixed cryoglobulinemia with the advent of corresponding clinical symptoms and thyroid disorders.
