HCV infection is associated with chronic kidney disease due to several mechanisms. Patients treated with interferon-based regimens demonstrate improved renal function and reduced incidence of chronic kidney disease. There is scarce evidence on the effect of direct acting antiviral regimens (DAAs) on renal function. We evaluated serial measures of renal function in a cohort of HCV-infected participants following completion of DAA-based treatment...
