One hundred and fifty patients with sustained virologic response (SVR) after treatment of chronic hepatitis C were enrolled in a long-term clinical follow-up study; patients were followed for 5 years for liver-related outcomes and evidence of biochemical or virologic relapse. Patients with stage two or greater fibrosis on pre-treatment biopsy were invited to undergo a long-term follow-up biopsy after their 4th year of follow-up. One hundred twenty-eight patients (85%) were followed through their 4th year and long-term follow-up biopsies were obtained from 60 patients (40%). Forty-nine patients had paired pre-treatment and long-term follow-up biopsies blindly rescored. Forty of these (82%) had a decrease in fibrosis score and forty-five (92%) had a decrease in combined inflammation score. Ten patients (20%) had normal or nearly normal livers on long-term follow-up biopsy. Two patients with pre-treatment cirrhosis developed hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and one died. All the other patients with pre-treatment cirrhosis or advanced fibrosis had improved fibrosis scores on long-term follow-up biopsy. No patient had conclusive evidence of virologic relapse. Three patients had persistently elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels; two of these had new liver disease. In conclusion, in this cohort of 150 patients with SVR followed for five years the majority of patients had good outcomes. Serum virologic relapse was not seen but two patients with pre-treatment cirrhosis developed HCC and one died. In blind rescoring of forty-nine paired pre-treatment and long-term follow-up biopsies 82% improved fibrosis scores and 92% improved at least one component of inflammation. A minority of patients had normal or nearly normal liver tissue on long-term follow-up biopsy. Patients with cirrhosis pre-treatment are at a low but real risk of HCC after SVR.
