Treatment with a direct acting antiviral (DAA) has revolutionized HCV therapy, as more than
95% of patients achieve a sustained virological response (SVR). Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis
(CryoVas), however, can persist and recur after the HCV cure. In this systematic review, we
include data from 19 studies that provided information on the persistence and recurrence of
CryoVas after the HCV cure with DAAs. A complete clinical response (CR) was reported in
63.7% to 90.2% of the DAA-treated patients after achieving SVR. Relapse of CryoVas …
Treatment with a direct acting antiviral (DAA) has revolutionized HCV therapy, as more than 95% of patients achieve a sustained virological response (SVR). Cryoglobulinemic vasculitis (CryoVas), however, can persist and recur after the HCV cure. In this systematic review, we include data from 19 studies that provided information on the persistence and recurrence of CryoVas after the HCV cure with DAAs. A complete clinical response (CR) was reported in 63.7% to 90.2% of the DAA-treated patients after achieving SVR. Relapse of CryoVas symptoms was reported in 4% to 18% of the patients. Neuropathy, nephropathy, and dermatological complications were the most common manifestations of CryoVas. B-cell clones persisted in 31–40% of the patients and could contribute to CryoVas relapse. INFL3-rs12979860, ARNTL-rs648122, RETN-rs1423096, and SERPINE1-rs6976053 were associated with a higher incidence of persistence and recurrence of CryoVas. Prospective multicenter studies with diverse patient populations are needed to validate these findings for the timely and effective management of this challenging condition.
