Unfortunately, the reinfection of the graft inevitably occurs in all patients with persistent replication of the virus. Against the background of the necessary immunosuppressive therapy, the progression of the disease accelerates, leading to rapid decompensation of the liver. Antiviral therapy significantly improves the results of transplantation, but the use of standard interferon-based regimens is associated with low efficacy (no more than 30% for the most common 1 genotype of the virus) and poor tolerance. The article describes new interferon-free oral regimens used to treat the recurrence of HCV infection of 1 genotype.

HCV infection is one of the most common causes leading to the development of terminal liver diseases – cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, the main treatment for which is orthotopic liver transplantation. However, with continued virus replication, 100% reinfection occurs, which leads to the rapid progression of cirrhosis of the graft and the loss of its function. Standard interferon-containing therapy is ineffective for HCV infection, especially genotype 1, both before and after transplantation, and also has a wide range of adverse events. The article presents the successful experience of treating the recurrence of HCV infection 1 genotype in a patient who underwent liver transplantation and several courses of ineffective antiviral therapy.

To study the efficacy and safety of the use of paritaprevir, ritonavir, ombitasvir and dasabuvir in combination or without ribavirin in liver recipients with recurrence of HCV 1 genotype after transplantation. Materials and methods. The study included 46 patients after orthotopic liver transplantation with recurrence of HCV 1 genotype. 37 patients completed a 24-week course of antiviral therapy, including paritaprevir, ritonavir, ombitasvir and dasabuvir in combination or without ribavirin. The effectiveness of the therapy was calculated as the proportion of patients who achieved aviremia 12 weeks after the end of the course of treatment. The safety of therapy was assessed by the number of adverse events that occurred during the course of antiviral therapy. Results. A sustained virologic response at 12 weeks after the end of the course of antiviral therapy, including paritaprevir, ritonavir, ombitasvir and dasabuvir, reached 100% of the recipients of the liver. Reduction in the intensity of cytolytic and cholestatic syndromes was noted at week 4 of therapy. Adverse events were recorded in 56.7% of the subjects, mostly they were not severe and were stopped on their own. Acute cellular rejection of the transplant developed in 1 patient (2.7%). There have been no cases of irreversible liver transplant dysfunction or death of the recipient. The conclusion. The use of paritaprevir, ritonavir, ombitasvir and dasabuvir is safe and effective in the treatment of relapse of HCV infection of 1 genotype after liver transplantation.
