Nowadays, noninvasive techniques such as Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography have been introduced instead of liver biopsy. However, there are controversies about the time it should be performed after treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV).</p><p><strong>Objective: </strong>To evaluate hepatic fibrosis using ARFI technology before and after successive treatments for chronic HCV.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We prospectively included 50 adult patients with chronic HCV (genotype 1). Patients were first submitted to triple therapy with first-generation protease inhibitors (boceprevir and telaprevir) at the hepatitis division of the Gastroenterology Department of the Federal University of São Paulo. The non-responders underwent re-treatment with interferon-free direct-acting antiviral agents (DDAs - sofosbuvir associated with daclatasvir or simeprevir). Assessment of hepatic stiffness by ARFI was performed before and after the first treatment and before and after the re-treatment with DDAs.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>ARFI values decreased significantly after treatments. In patients on first-generation protease inhibitor therapy and achieving sustained virological response (SVR), ARFI decreased from 2.41±0.58 pre-treatment to 2.02+/-0.58 (P<0.042) post-treatment. In patients who did not reach SVR, that is, non-responders, a significant reduction was similarly observed (2.39±0.63 to 2.03±0.54; P<0.001 before and after treatment, respectively). Before starting the re-treatment, non-responders had elevated ARFI values again, dropping after SVR following re-treatment (from 2.46±0.57 to 1.45±0.68, P<0.004). Laboratory parameters such as AST and ALT were directly correlated to ARFI elastography.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The evaluation of hepatic elastography by the ARFI method before and after (6 - 9 months) successive treatment of hepatitis C in responders and non-responders led to the conclusion that the reduction of elastography parameters seems to be related to a decrease in hepatic inflammation rather than a reduction in fibrosis per se.</p>","PeriodicalId":35671,"journal":{"name":"Arquivos de Gastroenterologia","volume":"61 ","pages":"e24043"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142956115","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
