Resumen
Background: Hepatitis C is an important agent of liver damage in patients with chronic kidney disease and the advent of DAAs has dramatically changed the management of HCV positive patients, including those with advanced CKD. Sofosbuvir is the backbone of many anti-HCV regimens based on DAAs but it remains unclear whether it is appropriate for HCV-infected patients with stage 4-5 CKD.Study aims and design: We performed a systematic review of the literature with a meta-analysis of clinical studies in order to evaluate the efficacy and safety of SOF-based DAA regimens in patients with stage 4-5 CKD. The primary outcome was sustained viral response (as a measure of efficacy); the secondary outcomes were the frequency of SAEs and drop-outs due to AEs (as measures of tolerability). The random-effects model of DerSimonian and Laird was adopted, with heterogeneity and stratified analyses.Results: Thirty clinical studies (n=1537 unique patients) were retrieved. The pooled SVR12 and SAEs rate was 0.99 (95% confidence intervals, 0.97; 1.0, I2=99.8%) and 0.09 (95% CI, 0.05; 0.13, I2=84.3%), respectively. The pooled SVR12 rate in studies with high HCV RNA levels at baseline was lower, 0.87 (95% CI, 0.75; 1.0, I2=73.3%) (P<0.001). The pooled drop-out rate due to AEs was 0.02 (95% CI, -0.01; 0.04, I2=16.1%). Common serious adverse events were anemia (n=26, 38%) and reduced eGFR (n=14, 19%). SAEs were more common in studies adopting full-dose sofosbuvir (pooled rate of SAEs 0.15, 95% CI, 0.06; 0.25; I2=80.1%) and in those based on ribavirin (0.15, 95% CI, 0.07; 0.23, I2=95.8%). Six studies (n=69 patients) reported eGFR levels at baseline/post- antiviral therapy; no consistent changes were found.Conclusions: SOF-based regimens appear safe and effective in patients with stage 4-5 CKD. Serum creatinine should be carefully monitored during therapy with SOF in patients with CKD. Randomized controlled studies in order to expand our knowledge on this point are under way.
