Ethnic disparities in HCV-related extrahepatic manifestations: a population-based study in British Columbia Canada
EF 2023-24
Résumé
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a condition that affects more than just the liver. It can lead to inflammation in different parts of the body, causing what are known as extrahepatic manifestations (EHMs). These can include heart problems, stroke, diabetes, neurocognitive issues, and kidney diseases. The risk of experiencing these EHMs can vary among people from different ethnic backgrounds due to biological factors and social disparities. In our study, we investigated these varying risks among individuals with chronic HCV, focusing on those of East Asian and South Asian descent in British Columbia, Canada.
