Abstract
There in an intimate relationship between HCV infection and kidney disease.
HCV infection is a cause and complication of kidney disease, both chronic and acute. On one hand, HCV can cause glomerular disease and worsen outcomes in dialysis patients and kidney transplantation recipients. On the other hand, patients on dialysis are at high risk of HCV infection.
Treatment of patients with CKD and CHC differs from that used in the general CHC population, mostly when GFR is below 30 mL/min.
