The treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been improved significantly in the past few years. However, there still remain therapeutic difficulties in this area for several specific populations such as renal insufficiency and cirrhosis patients. The incidence of HCV infection in chronic kidney
disease (CKD) patients is higher than that in the average population, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality in CKD patients. Therefore, CKD patients with HCV infection should be treated with antiviral therapy in time. The emergence of directly-acting antiviral drugs (DAAs) has made a breakthrough for the infection in CKD patients. However, the optimal DAAs regimen for CKD patients is yet controversial. This review focuses on the progress of anti-HCV therapy for CKD patients in the past few years.
