Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes chronic liver disease and severe systemic vasculitis. This review covers diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment of HCV-induced vasculitis.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Virology
  • Immunology

Context:

  • Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease globally.
  • HCV infection is associated with severe extrahepatic manifestations, notably systemic vasculitis.
  • Cryoglobulinemia and polyarteritis nodosa are key vasculitic syndromes linked to HCV.

Purpose:

  • To review the diagnostic criteria for HCV-induced systemic vasculitis.
  • To elucidate the pathophysiologic mechanisms underlying HCV-related vasculitis.
  • To outline current therapeutic strategies for managing this severe complication.

Summary:

  • HCV infection can lead to severe systemic vasculitis, including cryoglobulinemic vasculitis and polyarteritis nodosa.
  • Diagnosis involves identifying HCV infection and characteristic vasculitic findings.

  • Management focuses on viral eradication and immunosuppression.

    • Impact:

    • Improved understanding of HCV-related vasculitis aids clinical diagnosis and management.
    • Highlights the importance of considering HCV in patients with systemic vasculitis.
    • Informs therapeutic approaches for a severe HCV complication.
