Background and AimsThis study aimed to clarify the clinical picture of hepatitis C virus (HCV) carriers with normal alanine aminotransferase (CNALT) and those with ALT elevation (non‐CNALT) under direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs).MethodsWe enrolled 1002 patients with HCV (427 men, median age: 69 years) who had received DAAs for comparisons between CNALT (ALT ≤33 U/L in males and ≤25 U/L in females;n= 374) and non‐CNALT (n= 628) groups.ResultsCNALT patients displayed a higher platelet count (PLT) (170 000vs146 000/μL,P< 0.0001) and albumin (4.1vs4.1 g/dL,P= 0.0006) but lower AST (25vs51 U/L,P< 0.0001), alpha fetoprotein (3.2vs5.4 ng/mL,P< 0.0001), and liver fibrosis marker scores (allP< 0.0001). The sustained virologic response rate was comparable between the CNALT and non‐CNALT groups (97.8vs95.3%,P= 0.106). The cumulative incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after DAA treatment was comparable between the CNALT and non‐CNALT groups (P= 0.117, log‐rank test). In CNALT patients with HCC history, PLT ≥150 000/μL was an independent risk factor of HCC recurrence (P= 0.019). In non‐CNALT patients without HCC history, male gender (P= 0.021) and albumin <4.0 g/dL (P= 0.007) were independent risk factors, while PLT < 150 000/μL (P= 0.081) was a marginal risk factor of HCC occurrence.ConclusionCNALT patients displayed a milder degree of liver fibrosis. Combinations of CNALT and PLT status might be useful as markers for HCC occurrence or recurrence surveillance.
