description

A number of extrahepatic manifestations have been reported in patients infected with HCV. The most prominent of theme are MC vasculitis, lymphoproliferative malignancies, renal disease, polyarthritis, thyroid and glucose disorders. Although these conditions might have a substantial impact on morbidity, patient management, and prognosis, for most of them the exact mechanisms underlying their development require further elucidation.
