| Abstract | Cirrhosis and liver cancer are both caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection of the liver. Patients with HCV cirrhosis may be treated with one of many antiviral medications, depending on their specific genotype. Samples of cirrhotic HCV were obtained from 190 people at the Khyber Teaching Hospital and the Hayatabad Medical Complex in Peshawar, Pakistan. Multiplex and real-time PCR were used to assess the genotypes and viral loads of the samples, respectively. Sixty patients were given sofosbuvir plus daclatasvir with ribavirin, while the remaining 56 patients were given sofosbuvir with ribavirin for a period of 12-24 weeks. LFTs were also tracked both before and after therapy. Group I (sofosbuvir + daclatasvir) had a sustained virological response of 82.70 percent. Group II (sofosbuvir + daclatasvir with ribavirin) had an 86% sustained virological response, whereas group III (84% sustained virological response) received only ribavirin. When compared to other genotypes, genotype 3 showed the most impressive sustained virologic response (SVR) to the antiviral medicines. Based on the results of this trial, we propose sofosbuvir + daclatasvir ribavirin for the treatment of cirrhotic patients with various HCV genotypes since it produces the greatest sustained virological response. |
