Abstract: | Observational and some experimental data suggest that hepatitis C virus can manifest in a variety of disease processes outside
the liver. The links between hepatitis C virus and membranoproliferative glomerulonephropathy, porphyria cutanea tarda, lichen
planus, cryoglobulinemia, diabetes mellitus, B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and thyroiditis are critically reviewed. Based
on the available evidence, recommendations for the clinical approach to patients with extrahepatic diseases are discussed. |
