Cryoglobulinemia after the era of chronic hepatitis C infection

Résumé

Objectives: Historically chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection accounted for the majority of mixed cryoglobulinemia (MC). The advent of direct-acting antivirals (DAA) against HCV has dramatically changed the management and the prevalence of chronic HCV infection. We aimed to describe the spectrum of MC in the era of DAA agents. Methods: We performed a longitudinal cohort study between 2011 and 2018 from a single-center French university hospital's database of 15 970 patients screened for MC. Epidemiological, clinical and immunological data of MC were recorded. We evaluated the incidence and evolution of MC before and after the era of DAA agents and compared HCV and non-HCV related MC. Results: Among 742 patients who tested positive for cryoglobulin, 679 [mean age 55.5 years, 54.5% female and 381 (56.1%) with chronic HCV infection] patients with persistent MC were included in the study. 373 (54.9%) had type II and 306 (45.1%) type III cryoglobulin, and 139 (21.5%) had cryoglobulinemia vasculitis (CryoVas). The incidence of MC decreased steadily with 395 and 284 incident cases during 2011-2014 and 2015-2018, respectively. In 2011, the leading cause was chronic HCV infection (62.5% of all MC). Currently, autoimmune diseases [systemic lupus erythematosus (28.9%) and Sjögren's syndrome (10.7%)] are the main cause of MC. The incidence of CryoVas was similar between HCV-and non HCV-related MC. Conclusion: Direct-acting antivirals have dramatically changed the landscape and the incidence of MC.
