Background/Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of a direct-acting antiviral treatment, ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir, without ribavirin, in a real-life setting. Patients and Methods: We performed a prospective observational study including 108 patients undergoing hemodialysis for endstage kidney disease, referred to our clinic for antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Patients received treatment with ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir, for 12 weeks. Sustained virologic response (SVR) was defined as undetectable viremia at 12 weeks after the end of therapy. For safety analysis, we monitored serum levels of hemoglobin, albumin, total bilirubin, alanineaminotransferase and aspartate-aminotransferase at the beginning and end of therapy, as well as at SVR. Verbal Numeric Rating Scale was used to assess the presence of nausea, headaches and fatigue. Results: We noted a high prevalence of diabetic and hypertensive nephropathy as the underlying cause of chronic kidney disease. Most of the patients had F2 and F3 liver fibrosis (32.40% and 34.25%, respectively). The SVR rate was 96.2% (103/107 patients).We recorded an unrelated death after the completion of antiviral therapy. We found increased levels of nausea, headaches and fatigue at the end of therapy compared to at initiation, The presence and degree of symptoms did not correlate with the underlying cause of renal disease (p=0.72) nor with the degree of fibrosis (p=0.08). Minimal increases in transaminases and bilirubin were recorded at the end of treatment, with no statistical significance. Conclusion: Oral antiviral therapy with ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir and dasabuvir can be safely used in hemodialysis patients, with similar response rates compared to the general population.Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of mortality and morbidity both in the general population and in the population represented by patients in hemodialysis programs. The latter have an increased risk of developing many complications, and thus represent the main target for the eradication of HCV infection. Hemodialysis in supporting patients with end-stage renal disease unfortunately carries a risk for hepatitis C infection. The incidence of HCV infection among hemodialysis patients is higher compared to the general population in Europe, with variations between different regions of the continent; for example, in Romania both the incidence and the prevalence of the infection are still at an increased rate in chronic hemodialysis patients (1).There is currently a wide range of therapeutic resources against HCV, represented by interferon-free, direct-acting antiviral (DAA) regimens including the daclatasvir plus asunaprevir dual regimen, ledipasvir/sofosbuvir combination, ombitasvir/paritaprevir/ritonavir combination, elbasvir plus grazoprevir dual regimen, and glecaprevir/pibrentasvir combination. Current European guidelines recommend the use of DAAs as early as possible in all patients with a...
