Background&Aims: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is closely related<br />

to lipid metabolism. HCV genotype-(GT)-3 infection is associated<br />

with hepatic steatosis and low levels of serum cholesterol,<br />

which are reversible after successful HCV treatment. Moreover,<br />

in HCV GT-1 infection serum levels of low-density lipoprotein<br />

(LDL) particles increase on HCV clearance during sofosbuvir/<br />

ribavirin (SOF/RBV) therapy. This study investigated serum lipid<br />

parameters in patients with HCV-1 and 3 infection undergoing<br />

IFN-free treatment. Patients&Methods: Total serum cholesterol,<br />

high density lipoprotein (HDL), LDL and serum triglycerides (TG)<br />

were analyzed at baseline, during (initially weekly, afterwards<br />

every four weeks) and after antiviral therapy in 208 patients<br />

(GT-1: N=163, age: 57±11, BMI: 26±4kg/m 2 , male/female:<br />

99/64, F4: 108 (66%), Diabetes mellitus (DM): 35(21%)),<br />

(GT-3: N=45, age: 52±7, BMI: 26±4kg/m 2 , m/f: 32/13, F4:<br />

34 (76%), DM: 6 (13%)). Patients with GT-3 received SOF,<br />

400mg/d with RBV (N=24) or Daclatasvir (60mg/d) (DCV,<br />

N=21). Patients with GT-1 received SOF in combination with<br />

DCV (N=85), Simeprevir 150mg/d (N=56), 90mg/d Ledipasvir<br />

(N=20) or RBV (N=2). Results: Overall, serum cholesterol<br />

and LDL increased during treatment (table 1). This was<br />

observed after the first week of treatment (chol BL<br />
