Abstract
Objective: to analyze the characteristics of hepatitis C virus chronic infection with concurrent cryogobulinemia, to assess the prevalence of extrahepatic diseases in the population of Belarusian patients under study.
Material and methods. An open, non-randomized observational study with the inclusion of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) chronic infection and cryoglobulinemia (CG) was conducted.
Results. The study has determined the core characteristics of HCV infection in CG patients, incidence rates and a wide array of extrahepatic diseases (EHDs), as well as HCV infection distinctive features compared to those without extrahepatic diseases.
Conclusion. The revealed variety of common EHDs in HCV infection indicates that many organs and systems are involved in the pathological process and this variety should be taken into account when considering prognosis and treatment tactics.
