Hepatitis C virus (HCV) affects other tissues besides the liver tissue, with the appearance of extrahepatic manifestations such as cryoglobulinemia, lymphoproliferative diseases, metabolic disorders, neuropsychiatric disorders and others. At the basis of their appearance are immune-mediated mechanisms stimulated by the HCV. The antiviral therapy with direct action initiated in all patients with chronic HCV infection acts on these manifestations, contributing to improving the quality of life, but also to eliminating a public health problem.
