The impact of direct-acting antiviral treatment on lipid metabolism and insulin resistance in chronic hepatitis C patients: temporary? permanent?
    The Turkish journal of gastroenterology : the official journal of Turkish Society of Gastroenterology, 2020, Volume: 31, Issue:5

    In previous studies that investigated the impact of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment on lipid metabolism and insulin resistance in chronic hepatitis C patients have been compared to baseline values with either end of treatment or post-treatment values. The results are inconsistent. We evaluated patients throughout the treatment and after treatment.. 121 patients were included in the study. 93 patients were treated with sofosbuvir/ledipasvir±Ribavirin (RBV), and 28 patients were treated with ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir+dasabuvir±RBV. Total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), triglycerides (TG) and homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) levels were measured at the onset of treatment, after the1st month of treatment, at the end of treatment, and 6 and 12 months after the end of treatment.. 117 patients were genotype 1. Sustained virological response was 98.4%. HOMA-IR values during treatment were significantly higher than at the beginning of treatment (p=0.0001). At 12 months there was a decrease in HOMA-IR, but this was not statistically significant (p=0.2048). TC and LDL levels were significantly increased in the first month of treatment (TC; 159±30, 180±34 mg/dl; LDL; 84±28, 100±30 mg/dl, respectively) (p<0.0001) and this increase was present during and after treatment. There was no statistically significant increase in TG (p=0120). Both treatment regimens showed similar effects on HOMA-IR, TC, and LDL.. Patients with HCV treated with DAAs drugs showed increased IR, TC, and LDL cholesterol levels during treatment. After the end of treatment, IR goes back to normal, while the elevated TC and LDL levels persist indefinitely.

The outcomes of glucose abnormalities in chronic hepatitis C patients receiving interferon-free direct antiviral agents.
    The Kaohsiung journal of medical sciences, 2017, Volume: 33, Issue:11

    Direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) have been widely used for chronic hepatitis C (CHC) treatment recently. The characteristics of glucose abnormalities after DAAs therapy however, remain elusive. We aimed to elucidate the mutual impact between treatment response and parameters of glucose abnormalities after DAAs therapy in CHC patients. CHC patients who received DAAs therapy were recruited. The primary outcome measurements were their insulin resistance (IR) and beta-cell function assessed by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) method before treatment and at end-of-follow-up (EOF). Sixty-five CHC patients (19 males, mean age = 59.8 ± 10.3 years) were consecutively enrolled. They included 47 (72.3%) patients of genotype-1 infection. The treatment regimens among patients were sofosbuvir in 30 patients, paritaprevir-ritonavir/ombitasvir/dasabuvir in 23 patients, and asunaprevir/daclatasvir in 12 patients respectively. The overall sustained virological response rate was 98.5%. The mean IR at EOF was 2.6 ± 1.8, which was not significantly different from baseline level (2.7 ± 2.9, P = 0.75). There was a significant improvement of beta-cell function at EOF compared to baseline (107.7 ± 86.8 to 86.7 ± 44.5, P = 0.05). The amelioration of beta-cell function at EOF was significantly observed among 23 patients of high baseline IR (166.7 ± 111.3 of baseline vs 105.7 ± 48.2 of EOF, P = 0.04). Six (60%) of the 10 pre-diabetic patients at baseline achieved a normoglycemic state at EOF. Successful eradication of HCV by DAAs might improve glucose abnormalities in CHC patients, particularly among those who had high IR.
