"Chronic hepatitis C virus : lessons from the past, promise for the future documents the monumental advances that have been made in our understanding of chronic HCV during the past decade. The first section reviews the natural history of chronic HCV, how this virus can affect other organs in addition to the liver, and whether treating chronic HCV alters the natural history of this disease. Section 2 reviews the advances that have been made in the treatment of chronic HCV during the past decade with interferon based therapy. Separate chapters on response guided therapy and how to manage the adverse events associated with these medications provide the physician with the concepts required to more effectively treat chronic HCV now and in the future. As the genetics of virologic response have recently been elucidated, a chapter is devoted to helping the clinician understand how genes that modulate disease processes and their treatment are identified and utilized in clinical care. Section 3 deals with the future of HCV treatment and specific inhibitors of HCV. Specific chapters explain how targets for drugs are identified and how drugs are then developed and tested; how mutations of HCV develop and how anti-viral agents will affect this process; the most up to date data regarding the treatment of chronic HCV with peginterferon, ribavirin and anti-viral agents; and the potential to treat chronic HCV with just oral anti-viral agents and without peginterferon and ribavirin in the future. The final section of this book covers issues related to liver transplantation in patients with chronic HCV. Separate chapters review the natural history of chronic HCV in liver transplant recipients and the impact of utilizing HCV positive donors. The volume concludes with chapters that cover the treatment of chronic HCV both prior to and after liver transplantation with potent anti-viral agents. Chronic hepatitis C virus : lessons from the past, promise for the future is a valuable resource for all physicians caring for patients with chronic HCV."

"Chronic hepatitis B is still a major health problem in Indonesia. Unfortunately, to date, treatment of chronic HBV (Hepatitis B virus) infection had not shown satisfactory result. Monotherapy with alpha interferon or lamivudine have been widely used as treatment of chronic HBV. However, treatment response to Alpha interferon in Asian people was not satisfactory (15% - 20%), while monotherapy with lamivudine was not sufficient to eradicate HBV in chronically infected patients and commonly induce drug resistance. The occurrence of chronic hepatitis B resistant to lamivudine had encouraged development of newer agents such as adefovir, entecavir, emtricitabine and nucleoside analog. New therapeutic strategy using combination therapy should be considered if there is no sufficient response to monotherapy"

"Background: Hepatitis B is endemic in Indonesia and treatment response need to be monitored during and after antiviral therapy. Liver stiffness measurement and alanine aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) are noninvasive method to detect liver fibrosis available in Indonesia. However, little is known about their ability to evaluate treatment response in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients in Indonesia. This study aimed to investigate liver stiffness changes by transient elastography (TE) and APRI before and after one year oral antiviral treatment in CHB patients and the correlation between TE and APRI.Methods: this study was retrospective cohort on CHB patients in CiptoMangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta who uderwent treatment between January 2012 and December 2014. Patients received oral antiviral treatment with newer nucleoside analogues (entecavir or telbivudine) for at least one year. TE and APRI were obtained before and after treatment. TE and APRI reductions were analyzed statistically with Spearmans test.Results: a total of 41 patients were enrolled in this study. Median liver stiffness value was significantly reduced from 10.8 to 5.9 kPa after oral antiviral treatment (p<0.001, Wilcoxons test). Median APRI was also significantly reduced from 1.13 to 0.43 after treatment (p<0.001, Wilcoxons test). The correlation between liver stiffness and APRI before treatment was weak (r=0.40), but it was strong after treatment (r=0.73).Conclusion: the liver stiffness measured with transient elastography and APRI significantly decreased after one year of antiviral treatment in chronic HBV patients. There was a significant correlation between TE and APRI after one year of treatment."

"Chronic hepatitis due to hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCP) is still a major problem in terms of progressive liver damage, prevention and therapy in most parts ofthe world. Unfortunately, to date, there is still no specific and effective therapy for HBV. No therapy can be given to carrier; non-replicative and asymptomatic patients of chronic HBV infection. Lamivudine or alpha-interferon can be used for treatment of compensated chronic hepatitis B infection with significant increase of aminotransferase. Approximately 40 % of patients can have seroconversion with this form of therapy. Chronic hepatitis D virus injection can be treat with alpha-interferon and in the final stage, may undergo liver transplantation. For chronic hepatitis C virus infection, alpha-interferon with ribavirin have been shown to have a better efficacy than afpha-interferon alone where the efficacy can reach 39-49 %."

"Nowadays studies have shown that liver fibrosis is a reversible process. Theraupetic target on Hepatic Stellate Cell (HSC) through inhibition of fibrotic signaling transduction is one of the way to treat liver fibrosis (e.g. pentoxifylline)..."

"Latar Belakang. Salah satu terapi standar hepatitis C kronik adalah terapi kombinasi interferon alfa (IFN) dan ribavirin (RIB). Namun terapi kombinasi tersebut dapat menimbulkan efek samping anemia. Anemia menyebabkan dosis ribavirin harus diturunkan atau dihentikan sementara yang mengakibatkan penurunan keberhasilan terapi hepatitis C kronik. Oleh karena itu perlu diketahui prevalensi dan faktor risiko anemia pada pasien yang menjalani terapi kombinasi agar anemia dapat diantipasi dan diawasi lebih cermat pada pasien dengan faktor risiko tersebut. Penelitian semacam ini belum pernah dipublikasi di Indonesia.Tujuan. Mengetahui prevalensi dan faktor risiko terjadinya anemia pada pasien hepatitis C kronik yang menjalani terapi interferon alfa dan ribavirin serta mengetahui frekuensi pasien anemia yang mengalami penurunan dan penghentian ribavirin.Metodologi. Pasien hepatitis C kronik yang mendapat pengobatan berupa terapi kombinasi interferon alfa-ribavirin oleh staf divisi Hepatologi FKUIIRSCM diikutsertakan dalam penelitian. Data yang dikumpulkan meliputi anamnesis, pemeriksaan fisik dan pemeriksaan darah tepi pada minggu ke 8 terapi kombinasi. Penelitian menggunakan desain cross sectional dengan variabel yang diteliti adalah umur, jenis kelamin, genotip, dosis ribavirin dan, kadar hemoglobin awal terapi.Hasil. Enam puluh satu subyek penelitian terdiri dari pria 47 (77%), wanita 14 (23%) dan usia rerata 38,9 tahun, 23 (71,9 %) subyek mempunyai genotip 1 dan 4, dan 44 (72,1 %) subyek mendapat dosis ribavirin 1000 mg. Prevalensi anemia sebesar 52,5 % (32 subyek). Dari analisis multivariat hanya kadar hemoglobin awal terapi yang rendah yang berhubungan bermakna dengan anemia.. Jumlah pasien anemia yang mengalami penurunan dosis ribavirin adalah 8 dari 32 pasien anemia.Kesimpulan. Prevalensi anemia pada terapi kombinasi 52,5 %. Kadar hemoglobin awal terapi < 14 gldl merupakan faktor risiko terjadinya anemia sehingga pengawasan lebih ketat dan intervensi terhadap anemia dapat dilakukan pada pasien dengan faktor risiko tersebut. Meskipun umur ? 50 tahun, dan wanita belum terbukti sebagai faktor risiko anemia namun harus tetap menjadi perhatian. Delapan subyek (25 %) Ban 32 pasien anemia memerlukan penurunan dosis ribavirin dan tidak ada yang mengalami penghentian ribavirin.

Background. Interferon alfa and ribavirin combination therapy is one of effective standard therapy for chronic hepatitis C. However, anemia is a common side effect of this therapy. Therefore, patients have to reduce or discontinue ribavirin therapy and this can reduce the effectivity of the therapy. Hence, it is important to know the prevalence of anemia and to determine the factors associated with anemia.

Objective. To determine the prevalence of anemia and some risk factors associated with anemia caused by combination therapy in chronic hepatitis C, also to know frequencies of anemia patients who received dose reduction or discontinuation ribavirin therapy.

Method. Sixty one patient of chronic hepatitis C received combination therapy from staff of Hepatology Division FKUIfRSCM were included in the study. Data were obtained by anamnesis, physical examination, and measured complete blood count on 8`h week of therapy. This study was conducted by using cross sectional design.

Result. Subjects were 47 males (77%), females 14 (23%) with mean age 38.9 years. Twenty three subjects had genotype 1 and 4 (71.9%) and 44 subject (72.1) received 1000 mg ribavirin. Prevalence of anemia was found to be 52.5 % (32 subjects). It was concluded that risk factors of anemia are: age > 50 years, females, low pretreatment hemoglobin concentration (<14 gldl) were risk factors of anemia. On multivariate analysis only pretreatment hemoglobin concentration < 14 g/dl was determined to be the risk factor of anemia There were 8 subjects from 32 anemia patients had ribavirin reduction, and no patient had discontinuation treatment on Bch week of therapy.

Conclusion. Prevalence anemia was 52,5 % and pretreatment hemoglobin concentration <14 gldl were found to be the risk factors of anemia. Although age > 50 years and female were not yet found to be risk factors of anemia, we should be careful of these risk factors. Therefore patient with these risk factors should be carefully monitored and intervention to prevent anemia should be considered. Eight subjects from 32 anemia patients had ribavirin reduction, and no patient had discontinuation treatment on 8`h week of therapy."

"ABSTRAKLatar Belakang: Penyakit hepatitis C kronik merupakan masalah kesehatan global yang dapat menyebabkan morbiditas serta mortalitas yang tinggi pada kondisi sirosis dan karsinoma hepatoseluler. Adanya terapi sofosbuvir-daclatasvir yang bersifat pangenotipik diharapkan dapat mengatasi penyakit ini. Namun, didapatkan hasil pencapaian SVR 12 yang bervariasi dan lebih rendah pada genotipe 3 dibandingkan genotipe 1. Di Indonesia sendiri belum ada data mengenai pencapaian SVR 12 pada kedua genotipe ini yang menggunakan terapi sofosbuvir-daclatasvir. Tujuan: Mengetahui pencapaian SVR 12 pasien hepatitis C Kronik genotipe 3 dibandingkan genotipe 1 yang mendapatkan terapi sofosbuvir-daclatasvir.Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan studi kohort retrospektif dengan menggunakan data sekunder yang melibatkan 209 pasien hepatitis C kronik genotipe 3 dan 1. Dilakukan analisis dengan membagi pasien menjadi dua kelompok yaitu genotipe 3 dan 1 serta dibandingkan dengan pencapaian keberhasilan SVR 12 menggunakan uji chi-square. Faktor sirosis hepatis dan usia yang dianggap dapat memengaruhi keberhasilan SVR 12 dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji chi-square kemudian dilanjutkan dengan analisis regresi logistik.Hasil: Sampel berjumlah 209 pasien yang terdiri dari 45 pasien genotipe 3 dan 164 pasien genotipe 1. Pencapaian keberhasilan SVR 12 pada genotipe 3 dan 1 yaitu 84,4% dan 98,8%. Kelompok pasien genotipe 3 memiliki keberhasilan SVR 12 lebih rendah dibandingkan kelompok pasien genotipe 1 dengan adjusted OR=0,065 (IK95% 0,013-0,330) dan ARR 14,4%. Sirosis hepatis dan usia tidak memengaruhi keberhasilan SVR 12 (p=1,00 dan p=0,72). Sejumlah 5 dari 9 pasien yang mengalami kegagalan memiki koinfeksi dengan HIV. Simpulan: Pasien hepatitis C kronik genotipe 3 yang menggunakan terapi sofosbuvir-daclatasvir memiliki keberhasilan SVR 12 lebih rendah dibandingkan genotipe 1.

ABSTRACTBackground. Chronic hepatitis C is a global health problem with high morbidity and mortality in the condition of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. sofosbuvir-daclatasvir is pangenotypic therapy that expected to overcome this disease. However, the achievement of SVR 12 was varied and lower in genotype 3 compared to genotype 1. In Indonesia, there is no data about achievement SVR 12 in both genotypes using sofosbuvir-daclatasvir.Objectives. To know SVR 12 achievement between genotype 3 and 1 chronic hepatitis C patients that using sofosbuvir-daclatasvir therapy.Methods. This study is a retrospective cohort using secondary data of 209 hepatitis C chronic genotype 3 and 1. Samples were divided into two groups according to its genotype and compared with achievement of SVR 12 then analyzed using chi-square test. Hepatic cirrhosis and age factors that are considered to affect the achievement SVR 12 were analyzed using chi-square test and logistic regression test.Results. 209 patients participated in this study consisting of 45 genotype 3 and 164 genotype 1. Achievement of SVR 12 succeed in genotypes 3 and 1 were 84,4% and 98,8%. Genotype 3 patients had lower SVR 12 achievement compared to genotype 1 patients with adjusted OR=0,065 (95% CI 0,013-0,330) and ARR 14,4. Hepatic cirrhosis and ages did not affect SVR 12 (p= 1.00 and 0,72, respectively). Five from nine patients who failed have co-infection with HIV.Conclusions. Chronic hepatitis C patients using sofosbuvir-daclatasvir theraphy had lower SVR 12 achievement in genotype 3 than genotype 1."
