A case of acute exacerbation of chronic hepatitis C during the course of adrenal Cushing's syndrome

Abstract

Abstract A 50‐year‐old woman with adrenal Cushing's syndrome and chronic hepatitis C developed an acute exacerbation of chronic hepatitis C before adrenectomy. After administration of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir was started, her transaminase levels normalized promptly and a rapid virological response also was achieved. Laparoscopic left adrenectomy was then performed safely.
