Successful treatment of hepatitis C, genotype 3, with sofosbuvir/ledipasvir in decompensated cirrhosis complicated by mixed cryoglobulinaemia
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Advances in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C (HCV) have given HCV providers access to treatment regimens able to achieve sustained virological response (SVR or 'cure') in the majority of patients. There are, however, groups of patients in whom HCV treatment outcomes with direct acting antivirals (DAAs) are suboptimal (genotype (GT) 3 patients, decompensated cirrhosis, renal failure) or have not been studied in large cohorts (patients with cryoglobulinaemia (CG)). This case outlines the successful eradication of GT-3 hepatitis C (HCV) in a patient with decompensated cirrhosis and renal failure secondary to mixed CG with DAA failure, using a 12-week course of sofosbuvir, ledipasvir and ribavirin. The achievement of SVR in this patient resulted in significant improvement in hepatic and renal function. Patients with decompensated cirrhosis and GT-3 disease remain a difficult to treat population, and the safety and efficacy of sofosbuvir, ledipasvir and ribavirin in this cohort require further study.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
