Houghton and colleagues cloned and expressed portions of a RNA virus from the plasma of an infected chimpanzee in 1989 • This virus, designated hepatitis C virus (HCV), is now known to be a major • cause of both transfusion-associated and sporadic non-A-non-B hepatitis
Significant nucleotide and amino acid heterogeneity is present throughout the HCV genome, with a well characterized • hypervariable region in the E2 envelope glycoprotein domain . • This has led to the recognition of at least six HCV subtypes based on differences in the nucleotide sequence for NS5 .
Infection is followed by an incubation period of 6 to 12 weeks prior to the development of clinical hepatitis. • In the majority of cases the hepatitis is mild and anicteric. Persistent viremia despite resolution of the acute hepatitis is seen in the majority of cases. • many of these patients have persistent viremia despite minimal liver pathology, suggesting the presence of a "healthy“ carrier state, • at least 50% of patients develop chronic hepatitis, of which 20% progress to cirrhosis or chronic active hepatitis
Genotype… • Genetically distinct groups of HCV isolates arisen during viral replication • 35% variation esp. E1 E2 Distribution 1 --- 40 – 80% worldwide 1a – USA ; 1b – Europe 2 --- 10-40% worldwide 3 ---- India , Australia 4 --- Middle East , Africa 5 --- South Africa 6 --- Hongkong • Do not influence severity • Treatment response • Genotype 3 – steatosis • Genotype 1b – progressive post transplant disease
Quasispecies… Closely related heterogeneous sequences in HCV in single infected person Mutation on replication E1E2 HVR Escape host immunity Resistance to treatment
Transmission • Percutaneous • Blood transfusion • Needle stick • Non percutaneous • Sexual • Perinatal
Transfusion • Initial Post Transfusion hepatitis : 85% Hep C • Transfusion Hep C – 4% of Acute HCV • Decreased after anti-HCV introduced in May 1990 • Present risk - 0.01 – 0.001 % • At risk • Patient Requiring multiple transfusions • Hemophilia • Thallasemia • Apollo chennai - HCV in blood donors : 3-5/ year (14,000 donations) • HCV RNA screening
IDU & others… Prevalence : 48 – 90% More than HIV & HBV Positive in 6 months Tattooing – 2- 24% Acupuncture
Hemodialysis • Anti HCV prevalence: 10- 20% • Underestimate (4-15%) • Duration on HD • Annual Risk : 0.15% (HD) & 0.03% (CAPD) • Chr.HCV : 70-90% At Apollo • HCV+ve on HD – 11/140
HCV in CKD on HD • Prevalence – 1. Developed nations – 7 – 40% 2. Developing nations– 16 – 80% 3. India – 12 – 40% ( Saha etal 2001) 4. Apollo – 12% • Risk factors – 1. Duration on HD 2. Local prevalence 3. Blood transfusions 4. Nosocomial transmission June 4, 2014 HCV and Renal Disease
Nosocomial Transmission… • Breach of standard infection control precautions 1. Hand wash , glove change Okuda et al ; Arenas et al 2. Multi-dose vials 3. Spillage • Dialysis internal circuits minor contributor • DOPPS – Isolation does not protect • CDC – 1. No isolation 2. No dedicated machines • Belgian study – 0% transmission by standard precautions only • Slow seroconversion ( 5 months) • Regular EIA / NAT , ALT / AST June 4, 2014 HCV and Renal Disease
Nosocomial • Health workers • Needle stick : 0-4% by anti-HCV 10% by PCR • Overall seroprevelance is as gen.population • Risks of transmission < HBV,HIV • HCW patient 0.014% • Patient HCW 2- 10%
Non-percutaneous Sexual – controversial More common in male homosexuals Associated risk factors RNA levels in semen low HCV in spouse 3%
Perinatal Transmission • Risk upto 10% • No difference in CS vs. vaginal • Increased risk • RNA +ve • Increased RNA levels • HIV-HCV decreased with HAART • Not transmitted by breast feed • Passive transfusion of Anti HCV • Anti HCV upto 18 months
In a nutshell…. • A RNA virus with hepatotropism • Widely distributed with distinct genotypes • Evades immune system • Pathogenesis by steatosis fibrogenesis & host immunity • Transmission by parenteral route • Acute hepatitis rarely recognised • High rate of chronicity • Multiple influences • Extrahepatic manifestations • HCC
Mesangio proliferative gn • igA • Fibrillary and immunotactoid gn • Diffuse endocapillary proliferative gn • MGN • MPGN • Renal vasculitis cryoglobulinemic
HCV induced renal disease • EMC type II ( 50% of HCV ; 1% symptomatic) • MPGN type I ( with or without MC) • Membranous glomerulonephritis • Pathology - Deposition of HCV RNA – Ig complexes • OLT – intraop renal biopsy – 25 – 30% GN • Proteinuria , Microscopic hematuria • Liver disese may be occult • Melzer Franklin triad (EMC) Weakness , Arthralgia , Purpurae Elevated Cryocrit ,Rheumatoid factor ; Decreased C4 • Test annually 1. hematuria 2. proteinuria 3. GFR • Renal biopsy June 4, 2014 HCV and Renal Disease
Serological…… • Detect Igs against viral proteins • EIA 3rd generation • NS3 , NS4 , NS5 • Positive at 7 – 8 weeks • Sensitivity – 97% • RIBA for clarifying false positives • Negative anti- HCV in HCV infection 1. immunosuppressed 2. CKD , on HD 3. Acute HCV
The original first generation enzyme immunoassay (EIA-l), which measured antibodies to the nonstructural Cl00-3 antigen (coded by the NS4 domain), lacked sensitivity and specificity, and was undetectable in 10 to 25% of patients with chronic HCV viremia and falsely present in both healthy individuals and patients with chronic autoimmune hepatitis
The second generation enzyme immunoassay (EIA-2) measures antibodies to recombinant core and NS3 antigens in addition to that coded by NS4, and has greatly improved sensitivity (—95%) and specificity. • A supplemental serologic assay, the recombinant immunoblot assay (RIBA II test), measures antibody to four HCV antigens (the nonstructural antigens 5-1-1, C100-3, and C33, and the core antigen C22), and has comparable sensitivity and slightly more specificity than the EIA-2 test
