Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the ITPA gene are associated with haemolytic anaemia in chronic hepatitis C patients treated with pegylated interferon-ribavirin (RBV). Information in patients treated with interferon-free, direct-acting antivirals (DAA) is scarce. METHODS: Median haemoglobin (Hb) levels were compared at baseline and at week 4, when ribavirin concentration achieves steady...
