Abstract:
Chronic hepatitis C virus ( HCV) infection has been reported in association with several extrahepatic complications, among which mixed cryoglobulinemia is the most documented. Clinical manifestations of HCV related cryoglobulinemia include skin lesions, glomerulonephritis, peripheral neuropathy, and widespread vasculitis.The therapy may be directed to eradicate HCV infections, suppress B-cell clonal expansion and cryoglobulin production, and ameliorate symptoms.This paper reviews the research progress on pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of HCV related cryoglobulinemia.
