The aim of this study is to investigate the occurrence of AKI during antiviral therapy, when compared with baseline values in Egyptian patients.
In addition, the study aims to evaluate the change in insulin resistance value after treating patients from HCV.
There are limited published data, currently, suggesting the risk of AKI during oral direct acting antiviral treatment. Most case reports and retrospective studies reported the presence of an intrinsic cause of renal injury, with most of the available biopsies showing acute tubular necrosis (ATN) and acute interstitial nephritis (AIN). Most of these patients had returned to baseline renal function on cessation of sofosbuvir combination therapy.
Recently it was found that a notable percentage of patients experienced a transient increase in creatinine during therapy, which could occasionally lead to a more than 50% decrease in patients' eGFR. Previous studies had also shown that the co-use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and recurrent ascites were at increased risk for AKI during sofosbuvir-based antiviral therapy (Brawn et al., 2018).
The primary endpoint of this study is to investigate the occurrence of AKI in Egyptian patients during antiviral therapy and to highlight its reasons and time of incidence in addition to the mechanism of this injury.
