Abstract
AbstractChronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with several extrahepatic disorders. Although the exact pathogenesis of these conditions is not fully understood, several studies have provided insight into the role of HCV in their development. This review discusses the different conditions that have been associated with HCV infection. Among the most commonly reported are cryoglobulinemia, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, leukocytoclastic vasculitis, Sjogren's syndrome, lichen planus and porphyria cutanea tarda. In some patients, these disorders are the first sign of HCV infection.
