Summary: This study compared changes in APRI and TE before and after sustained virologic response in HIV-HCV coinfected patients, and found that TE is the preferred tool for monitoring liver fibrosis regression following cure.

Anthropometric parameters and liver histology influence lipid metabolic changes in HCV chronic hepatitis on direct-acting antiviral treatment

Domenico Iossa et al.

Summary: In patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) treated with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs), eradication of HCV leads to a pro-atherogenic lipid pattern. Changes in lipid metabolism depend on anthropometric parameters and liver histology. However, there is no significant increase in cardiovascular risk indexes in the short-term.

Hepatitis C Virus Uses Host Lipids to Its Own Advantage

Malgorzata Sidorkiewicz

Summary: HCV infection greatly impacts the lipid and lipoprotein metabolism of the host, leading to conditions like hypolipidemia and hepatic steatosis in chronic hepatitis C patients. Lipids and lipoproteins play a crucial role in all stages of the HCV life cycle, influencing viral entry into hepatocytes, replication, assembly, and secretion. The review aims to summarize how HCV utilizes host lipid metabolism for its own benefit.

Impact of HCV Eradication on Lipid Metabolism in HIV/HCV Coinfected Patients: Data from ICONA and HepaICONA Foundation Cohort Study

Martina Spaziante et al.

Summary: In HIV/HCV coinfected patients, significant improvements in liver function and increases in TC and LDL-C levels were observed after achieving SVR. The use of darunavir/ritonavir and HCV genotype 3 were associated with more pronounced increases in TC and LDL-C post-SVR. Further research is needed to assess the long-term cardiovascular risks of these lipid changes.
