| Description | Extrahepatic manifestations of hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) are very common. A link with the HCV infection is considered to be established with membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, leukocytoclastic vasculitis, lympho-proliferative disorders (in particular B-cell lymphoma), Sjogren and sicca syndrome, lichen planus, porfyria cuta-nea tarda and diabetes mellitus. Antiviral therapy may prevent progression to diabetes in patients with prediabe-tes who have hepatitis C and may reduce renal and cardiovascular complications in patients with established diabetes who have hepatitis C. |
