Anemia and thrombocytosis induced by ribavirin monotherapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C
2012
Background
An inosine triphosphatase (ITPA) single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is associated with anemia induced by pegylated interferon and ribavirin (RBV) combination therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC). However, there are very few reports on the hematological effects of RBV monotherapy. Here, hematological changes were monitored in patients with CHC who received RBV monotherapy, and the mechanism of these changes was investigated.
